Euting_Hadrumetum_inscriptions
The Hadrumetum Punic inscriptions are Punic votive inscriptions found in the Old City of Sousse[1] (ancient Hadrumetum).
They were discovered between the Great Mosque of Sousse and the Ribat of Sousse, where the French authorities had chosen to build Sousse's first church, the Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Immaculée-Conception de Sousse, built between 1865 and 1867. After WWII war damage was repaired, the church was later demolished by the local authorities as part of a renovation of the Old City.
The first nine inscriptions were published by Julius Euting in 1872.[2] Further inscriptions were found in 1946 after World War II bomb damage exposed more of the area around the church.[3][4]
The inscriptions are held between the Sousse Archaeological Museum, the Louvre and the Maison méditerranéenne des Sciences de l'homme.[5]
