Way too far east, the previous south-west guess was much closer [Edit - but a bit too far clockwise ;)].

Here is a bit more of a hint to the general area:

Could this be in Tunisia again? Or perhaps Algeria?

Would these be some of the excavations at Cirta, then?

Err Maty I may be wrong but unless there are two I believe that the Cirta which was the capital of Numidia is actually in Algeria. On that basis you are several hundred miles too far to the west of where I am thinking of - hint it is near the coast of Tunisia.

You are still about a hundred miles inland of this site.

 

You need to go further east and slightly north. Another clue is that it had an unlikely (in some ways suprising) part to play in the later stages of Hannibal's fight against the Romans when he returned to Africa.

You are now very warm but need to look a few miles further to the south east. :)
