Ajim, Tunisia
Gigthis
Gigthis is an ancient Punic and Roman archaeological site located in southern Tunisia, within the modern Medenine Governorate. The site lies at the bottom of the Gulf of Boughrara, facing the island of Djerba, along the ancient coastal route linking Carthage to Leptis Magna. Originally founded as a Phoenician trading post, Gigthis later became part of the Numidian kingdom before being incorporated into the Roman province of Africa Nova in 46 BCE following the Battle of Thapsus.
