Road station

Aeliae

Henchir-Mraba

Aeliae, at Henchir Mraba, was a station on the road from Aquas Regias to Thysdrus; the Roman register of routes puts it eighteen miles from Thysdrus. The map gives ten miles from Terento, but here the copyist slipped: he drew the kink that ends the stretch from Terento after the name instead of before it, so the last stretch to Thisdro Colonia has neither name nor figure. The distance back to Aquas Regias is also too short, and a station, perhaps Germaniciana, may be missing.
