A rectangular walled plaza measuring 72 by 60 metres, this [Roman forum](https://www.worldhistory.org/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](https://www.worldhistory.org/Antoninus_Pius/) (86-181 CE), it is one of the best-preserved forums of antiquity.
