An Excursion from Tunis to Zowan - Ruins of Oudinah, fifteeen miles south of Tunis, 1858. Creator: Unknown
An Excursion from Tunis to Zowan - Ruins of Oudinah, fifteeen miles south of Tunis, 1858. Engraving from a sketch by Mr. Arthur Hall, made during...an excursion from Tunis to the source of the stream which supplied Carthage with water...Our party consisted of seven gentlemen and two ladies; a soldier of the Bey to protect us; and two Moorish servants, one of whom had been engaged but a short time before in the honourable occupation of highwayman, and who acknowledged that he had killed, or left for such, no less than seven persons. Our cavalcade, as it passed through the main gate of the city, created no little excitement amongst the Moors, Jews, and Arabs who crowded round...The ladies of our party were evidently the chief objects of attention-their hats and feathers and long riding-habits calling forth many remarks of wonderment. We took care to let them see that we were prepared with arms and ammunition in case of need...We soon came to the River Milliana, the ancient Catada. The road...passes across this river, and after heavy rain all trace of the track is washed away, and a new one has to be made. On our left we passed the ruins of Oudinah; and on our right, at the distance of three or four miles, the remains of the Carthaginian Aqueduct'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
