Afrique

Recent epigraphic studies on Dougga (Thugga) and other North African sites reveal significant insights into the political, religious, and hydraulic systems of Roman Africa. These findings highlight the ceremonial interplay between political and religious spheres across historical periods, as well as the municipal consensus surrounding water management projects. Notably, research on Dougga's forum evolution and the cult of Aquae provides a deeper understanding of urban development and religious practices in this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The studies employ a combination of inscription analysis, archaeological prospection, and comparative site examinations to reconstruct historical contexts, offering new perspectives on the region's late antique transformation.
