Hello Steemians,

Today I want to share with you a quick visit to Pheradi Majus, an ancient Roman city located near Sidi Khalifa, Bouficha, Sousse.
Though less known than sites like Carthage or Dougga, Pheradi Majus offers a glimpse into Tunisia deep history through its ruins, mosaics, and monumental arches.
The best part? Entry is free, making it an easy and accessible stop for anyone interested in exploring Tunisia heritage.

Carved Stones with Ancient Texts

The site is scattered with stones engraved with Latin inscriptions. These old carvings feel like whispers from the past, still surviving centuries later.

Mosaic Fragment

Among the ruins, I spotted a beautiful piece of mosaic. Though partly damaged, its patterns still show the Roman artistry that once decorated villas and temples here.
