Dzemda

Dzemda is a locality in Tunisia.

The site is located near

kilometers south west of Zaghouan. The site is notable for ruins from the Roman era.^[3] The ruins are considered to be two separate Roman settlements, situated on opposites sides of a wadi

:

Henchir Ksour Dzemda, a vicus and possible imperial estate
Sempta (Africa), a Municipum (city).

Henchir Ksour Dzemda

Henchir Ksour Dzemda is a set of

kilometers south-west of Zaghouan noted for ruins from the Roman era,^[6] including a structure of Vaulted construction.^[7]

Alfred Merlin excavated the site and noted its occupation from 199

Roman North Africa to the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb

. The site is notable for the abundance of its inscription remains.[9] ^[10]^[11]^[12]

Although being legally a

Bishopric.^[13]

This adds weight to the probability it was an imperial estate.
