Henchir-Tebel

Henchir-Tebel, identified with the Roman town of Luperciana, is an archaeological site near Kairouan, Tunisia. The town has a rich history of settlement by Berber, Phoenician, and Greek communities before its establishment by the Romans. Luperciana thrived during the Roman and Byzantine periods as part of the Africa Proconsularis province. The town held religious significance, with a Roman Catholic bishopric established during antiquity, though it ceased to operate with the advent of Islam in the 7th century CE. Notable for its religious diversity, the site is characterized by structures such as churches, mosques, and synagogues, reflecting its historical role as a center of religious activity and learning.
