The Spring Complex in Thubursicum Numidarum (modern Khamissa in Algeria) is a monumental sanctuary with two water basins built to celebrate a spring regarded in antiquity to have been the source of the Bagradas River, which flows into the Mediterranean sea in Tunisia, between Utica and Carthage. On the north side of the Spring Complex was a colonnaded courtyard with a central temple containing a statue of Neptune (now in the Roman Theatre of Guelma).
