Aggar (city) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Aggar (city) Of the two towns called Aggar in the Roman province of Byzacena, one has left vast ruins that are now called Henchir Sidi Amara, situated in the plain of Kairouan,〔〔 about 60 kilometres east of Maktar.〔(The Stages of Silence )〕 A distinct Sidi Amara further north in Tunisia holds the ruins of the ancient town of Avioccala in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis. == Ruins ==
The ruins of Aggar, whose identity is confirmed by inscriptions found there, include those of a triumphal arch opening onto a large porticoed area, with a temple behind it, which must have been the forum and the capitol. A Byzantine fortress, 30 m square with square, slightly projecting corner towers was built on an arcaded structure identified as a temple of Juno. Another temple of unidentified dedication adjoins this citadel. Outside the city proper stands a two-storey mausoleum of a certain C. Marius Romanus with roofing almost intact. A ruined theatre can also be seen. About 1500 metres west of the town, the wadi Jilf was crossed by a bridge originally of ten arches, of which six remain.〔(M. H. Fantar, "Aggar" in ''Encyclopédie Berbère'' )〕〔(A. Ennabli, ''Aggar (Henchir Sidi Amara) Tunisia" in ''The Princeton Encyclopedia of Classical Sites'' )〕
