Thapsus

An ancient settlement and port, located at modern Ras Dimass in the Tunisian municipality of Bekalta (Monastir). Habitation at the site dates to at least the 6th century BCE and continued through the Byzantine and into the Islamic period, but it appears that the main settlement itself relocated to Bekalta in medieval times.
