Henchir-Khachoum

Henchir-Khachoum, located in the modern-day Sidi Bouzid Governorate of Tunisia, is the site of the ancient Roman town of Muzuca. This settlement was part of the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis and is notable for its archaeological remains, which include evidence of domestic habitation structures and religious sites. Muzuca was significant during the Late Classical Period as a Roman town and later became a Christian bishopric in the Early Post-Classical Period. The site serves as a titular bishopric in the Roman Catholic Church today, indicating its continued religious importance. The historical trajectory of Henchir-Khachoum highlights the region's role in early Christian history and its integration into the Roman Empire.
