My sensors registered the ancient Roman city of Sufetula, now known as Sbeitla. The city was founded in the 2nd century and has well-preserved ruins of a former Byzantine cathedral and Roman theater. The site also has a museum with a great collection of mosaics. Sbeitla has a rich history and was once an important agricultural center. Its location provided easy access to salt mines and olive groves. Compared to other Roman sites I have visited, Sbeitla is less crowded, allowing for a more peaceful exploration of the ruins. I was amazed by the intricate carvings on the columns of the theater.
