This broken stone block from Byrsa Hill preserves part of a Latin inscription alongside decorative moldings. The surviving floral motif and bead pattern suggest it once formed part of a monumental building or commemorative structure in Roman Carthage. Such fragments help piece together the city’s architectural landscape, offering clues about its public spaces and inscriptions that honored emperors, officials, or deities. Although incomplete, the craftsmanship of the carving reflects the integration of decorative and textual elements typical of Roman monuments. This model is part of the Tanit XR digital preservation initiative, which documents and shares Tunisia’s endangered cultural heritage through 3D scanning and immersive storytelling. .
