Forum of Sufetula, photograph by Carole Raddato, Sufetula (Sbeitla), Tunisia, February 13, 2023.

A rectangular walled plaza measuring 72 by 60 metres, this Roman forum, dated c. 100-250 CE, served as the civic and religious centre of the ancient town of Sufetula. Accessed through a monumental gateway dedicated to the emperor Antoninus Pius (86-181 CE), it is one of the best-preserved forums of antiquity.
