ザマの戦い
It is located at the foot of Jebel Maiza (887 m) which is part of the Tunisian ridge. It is described as a "French railway town sitting in the middle of a vast natural bowl that contains some of the most fertile land in the country." Its past dates back to antiquity, when it was the capital of the kingdom known as Zama Regia. Following the defeat of the Carthaginians at the Battle of Zama, Zama Regia was romanized as Thusca.
