Henchir-Ed-Douamès is located at 36°24'44"N, 9°05'06E, 120 km southwest of Tunis in the Governorate of Béja, near Dougga. HistoryThe ruins have been identified as the remains of Uchi Maius a civitas of the province of Africa Proconsularis during the Roman Empire. [5]The city is a Numidian foundation of the 5th century BC. Roman colonization begins after the defeat of Jugurtha in 103 BC., with the installation of veterans of Gaius Marius. The city was granted the title of Roman colony in 230 by Sévère Alexandre, became the seat of a bishopric in the 5th century and remained active in the Vandal and Byzantine kingdoms. In the same way, an Arab installation is attested there in the 9th–12th centuries. RemainsThe ruins have been surveyed being identified in 1882 and studied first by Charles Tissot, followed by René Cagnat in 1885. Alfred Merlin and Louis Poinssot published a major book at the beginning of the 20th century. The site was then abandoned in favor of the more promising site of Dougga located not far away. An agreement between the National Institute of Heritage and the University of Sassari allows to restart the work on the site from 1994 onwards. The most prominent feature of the ruins is the amphitheater.[6] but there are also several inscriptions of note. One such inscription in the ruins honors Constantine and calls him our restorer.[7] Other features include
The city was also the seat of an ancient Christian bishopric, which survives today as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[8][9] References1. ^Azedine Beschaouch, "On the Municipal History of Uchi Maius, an African-Roman City with a Double Civic Community (briefing note)", CRAI, vol. 146, No. 4, 2002, p. 1197–1214. {{DEFAULTSORT:Henchir-Ed-Douamès}}2. ^ Michel Christol, "From the Recovered Freedom of Uchi Maius to Dougga's Freedom", Revue de philologie, littérature et d'histoire anciens, vol.
