Just kidding! I was stationed at Camp Zama back in the day. I also went on R&R to Tunisia but I don’t remember seeing any road signs for Zama there.

You can find a marker for it on Google-maps. Not sure if there is actually anything there.

A lot of ancient battle sites are unknown other than in general terms. Rivers change course, the land changes, towns move expand or contract.

My sisters met a couple Irish gals and brought them over for dinner. When they mentioned they were from Dublin I said “I always wanted to visit Clontarf where Brian Boru won his great victory over the Vikings.”

They were agape - “We are FROM Clontarf!” they said!

I assume they got the impression that Americans were much more familiar with their home town that was actually the case!

Zama no longer exists--probably the result of urban renewal and population management--Roman style. The battlefield is near Siliana, on Route P4, 80 miles southwest of Tunis.
