The spacious seaport, situated on a protected gulf, was famous as one of the main production centres of purple dye in the Mediterranean and developed into one of the largest metropolises in Roman North Africa. In 2015, an archaeological research project was initiated in cooperation between the Institute of Classical Archaeology at the University of Munich and the Institut National du Patrimoine, Tunisia, in order to explore the urban development of this previously little-known ancient site. First, the internal urban structure was clarified by means of a large-scale geophysical prospection. Then, during two field research campaigns in 2017 and 2018, targeted excavations were carried out, which, together with their rich and diverse finds, provided exemplary insight into various spheres of urban life in all periods of the city's history, from Punic times to Late Antiquity (4th century B.C. to 7th century A.D.). In addition, underwater archaeological investigations have for the first time shed light on the harbour facilities of Meninx.
The present volume (https://publications.dainst.org/books/dai/catalog/book/350) offers a synthesis of the multifaceted results of these investigations. lt has become clear that Meninx, with its regional and supra-regional economic contacts, played a central role for the island, which functioned as a hub between Mediterranean maritime trade networks and the nearby mainland with its trading routes leading into the Sahara. In its role as a centre of production and trade, Meninx was strikingly different from the other Tripolitan coastal metropolises, Sabratha and Lepcis Magna, in that urban life was entirely focused on the sea and its resources.

The exemplary excavation of a greater area in a residential quarter in the south of the Roman town has allowed us, for the first time, to gain an comprehensive insight into all periods of the city’s long history, from prehistoric times to late antiquity.

This problem challenges us to ask if representations of buildings on monuments, as is generally assumed, always referred to a particular model that could be expected to be identified by the viewer. Focusing on Flavian coins on which architectural motifs appear in larger numbers, I shall demonstrate that there are not only buildings and monuments without any identifying features, but also ambiguous architectural structures that cannot even be typologically classified. A comparative look at Roman relief sculpture shows that this phenomenon is quite common, and that architectural representations in coinage comprise the same range of variations as are found in other genres of contemporary visual art. Unspecific buildings and indefinable architectural structures on Roman Imperial coins appear mainly in combination with a figural scene, providing only a decorative backdrop for the appearance of the emperor. It is argued that, in contrast to what the common term “architectural coin types” suggests, architectural motifs do not form a coherent group because they could have very different functions and are often only secondary within the overall message of the coin. I conclude that in those cases where the identification of a particular building or monument was an essential part of the message, this intention was usually made explicit, mostly by an additional legend.

The erotic pictures from Pompeian houses, however, are closely related to scenes of carousing with undressed couples and to depictions of mythical lovers. This affinity lies in the common interest in the multiple varieties of erotic interplay between man and woman. In the erotic pictures, sexual intercourse – here comprising a very limited set of basic positions – is presented as the most intensive form of physical interaction between the sexes, the ultimate point on a wide spectrum of possibilities of heterosexual encounter. In the wall paintings, this conception is demonstrated by anonymous, youthful, symmetrically coupled partners – with social differences, including those between the sexes, being ignored. On the walls of cubicula, scenes like these, and others showing passionate couples, served to evoke an erotic mood, but do not indicate mono-functional use of the respective room.

Existing since Punic times, the city experienced its cultural and economic heyday in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. The site extends ca. 1.7 km along the coast and ca. 200 to 600 m inland. However, it is still unclear how far it extends under water. Since the 19th century, sporadic excavations near the supposed forum and outside the city were undertaken. From 1996 to 2006 Meninx was included in the research project “An Island through Time: Jerba Studies”, during which comparatively small areas in the centre of the site were excavated (Drine et al. 2009). These excavations were accompanied by limited magnetometer measurements in the centre

The coastal areas between the Atlantic shores of Morocco and the Libyan Sirtes offer different climate zones, various landscapes, and many micro-regions with their own cultural history. Furthermore, the archaeological evidence for Prehistoric, Berber, Numidian, Punic, Roman, Vandal and Byzantine cultures presents its own contrasts: on the one hand, there are well-known archaeological sites offering well-preserved buildings and monuments, and on the other hand, entire cities hidden below the surface which can only be made visible through geophysical methods. In recent years, Ancient North Africa has seen a great deal of dynamic and multifaceted fieldwork. The ongoing process of adopting new archaeological methods, however, is not a purely technological phenomenon but also modifies and refines the individual questions we ask.
The intention of the conference “Perspectives from the Field: Recent Research on the Archaeology of Ancient North Africa” is to bring together archaeologists who are conducting fieldwork projects at different sites, in order to compare questions, methods, and results, and to stimulate discussion on future perspectives.

In its role as a centre of production and trade, Meninx was strikingly different from the other Tripolitan coastal metropolises, Sabratha and Lepcis Magna, in that urban life was entirely focused on the sea and its resources.
