Gafsa Archaeological Museum

Gafsa Archaeological Museum is an archaeological museum in Gafsa, Tunisia. It sits in the old city center. Opposite the museum are ancient Roman pools.

The archaeological museum of Qafsa is located in the heart of the ancient city, just opposite the Roman basins, which is supervised by a few degrees, in the framework of its refinement of the centuries. In this museum were collected artifacts from the city itself and its suburbs and the rest of the state. The talk about Gafsa necessitates talking about that "cage" civilization around the fifth millennium BC, which was a turning point in the history of civilization in North Africa. It is therefore not surprising that the prehistory occupies a privileged position in this museum, where it displays various objects of flint, carved stone or engraved bones, as well as human, animal and material representations of a kind of spiritual life. The visit to this section could be complemented by a gray visit to another district of the city. The last place of the prehistoric period survived from the ruin and appears in the form of a body made since the prehistoric times of deposits of thick ashes mixed with fragments of flint and snail shells (these molluscs were the staple food usually consumed in the caesarean period). The second wing The museum is for groups dating back to the Roman period. It should not be forgotten that Gafsa was a front-line outpost (limes) and was therefore the seat of a large garrison under the command of high-ranking military commanders. These collections include primarily used items, jewelry, coins, sculptures and mosaic elements, the most striking of which is undoubtedly the great mosaic tiling depicting all stages of jogging and wrestling.
