Abstract
Epigraphic record relating to the organization of the spoliation sites in late antiquity has so far been documented exclusively in Rome and Asia Minor. The data here provided by some unpublished inscriptions from the theater of Thignica (now Ain Tounga, Tunisia) open new opportunities of investigation about this phenomenon in the North African territory, where reuse for the construction of churches and fortifications has been very common. At Thignica recycling was linked mainly to the building of the Byzantine fort. Here an arch inserted in the tower of the south-eastern corner offers another evidence of an organized dismantling of the monuments in the Roman municipium, followed by the reuse of their parts.
