Thysdrus is the ancient roman name of a small city in Tunisia,North Africa. The city's name today is ElJem and it happens that it is my hometown :). Thysdrus was already a prosperous city in the II and III century, surrounded by hundreds of hectares of olive trees. The wealth of oil exports to Rome had created a rich middle class, which would not tolerate Roman interference in their own affairs. In 238, the city rose up against the Emperor Maximiliam and proclaimed Gordian proconsul.Thysdrus is a site of one of the best preserved roman amphitheatres and its museum has one of the largest collections of mosaics in the roman world.
