Abbir Cella edit

There is no sound base to the identification of Germaniciana and Abbir Cella, and archaeologists and epigraphists commonly reject it. See Beschaouch Azzedine. La découverte d' «Abbir Maius » municipe de Caracalla en Afrique proconsulaire (Tunisie). In: Bulletin de la Société Nationale des Antiquaires de France, 1974, 1976. pp. 118-123. https://doi.org/10.3406/bsnaf.1976.8335 : p. 119.

Abbir Cella is safely identified with (not just "has support as") the ruins at Henchir el Naam, s. CIL VIII, no. 814 = 12344.

But the episcopal see of St Cyprian and others, not localized beyond some guesses, has to be separated from it. --Ulysses 2001 (talk) 20:01, 15 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
