Summary

This publication highlights the contributions of two prominent scholars, Samir Aounallah and Okko Behrends, to the study of Dougga (Thugga). Aounallah, a researcher at the Institut National du Patrimoine in Tunisia, focuses on archaeological and epigraphic studies of the region, particularly the Cap Bon area, with notable works including 'Pagus et Civitas Siviritani' and 'Pagus, castellum et civitas'. His research delves into the organization and history of villages and cities in ancient Africa. Behrends, an emeritus professor from the University of Göttingen, brings a broader perspective on the cultural landscapes of North Africa. The publication aims to synthesize their expertise, offering insights into the historical and cultural layers of Dougga, a site that reflects the complex interactions between Roman and Berber traditions. Through epigraphic analysis and historical reconstruction, this work contributes significantly to our understanding of the region's ancient urban development.
