History

edit

The ruins have been identified as the remains of Uccula a municipium of the provinceofAfrica Proconsularis during the Roman Empire,[1][2] and which was active from 330 BC – AD 640. The ruins at Henchir-Aïn-Dourat have been surveyed,[3] and include a statue of mars.[4] An inscription in the ruins honors Constantine as "beyond the other emperors" and "unconquered".[5] and another earlier in its history honours Divus Titus.[6]

Before the Romans the town [7] was in the tribal area of the Afri, a Berber confederation.

The civitas was also the seat of an ancient Christian bishopric, which survives today as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[8][9]
