#Sbeïtla, l’antique #Sufetula
Les origines de Sbeïtla sont encore obscures et aucun texte, aucune inscription n’éclaire sa fondation. On peut seulement tirer parti de son nom, puisque #Sufetula est un diminutif de #Sufes, qui désigne une cité voisine, distante d’une trentaine de kilomètres au Nord-Ouestde la #tunisiehttps://www.leaders.com.tn/article/35663-ammar-mahjoubi-sbeitla-l-antique-sufetula

#AngloSaxon #Saint of the Day:
Æthelwine [ ᚫᚦᛖᛚᚹᛁᚾᛖ ] of Sceldeforde - Officially not a lot it known about this particular saint, to the point where his origins and story is completely unattested and apocryphal.
Unattested story of Æthelwine:
Æthelwine was a convert to Christianity from the then still #pagan #IsleOfWight. He came from the now renamed hamlet of Sceldeforde (Translates to Shield Ford).
It is said the Hamlet changed it's name to Æthelwinefeld (Æthelwine's Field), which over-time became "Æthelfeld" and now Atherfield (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atherfield)
Æthelwine converted while in Kent after visiting the court of Æthelbert but was martyred during Eadbald's (Æthelbert's son and successor) pagan revival.
Æthelwine condemned Eadbald's marriage to his step-mother. Eadbald was enraged and declared the saint a "féondulf" -- criminal/felon.
Æthelwine, fearing for his life, fled back to the Island. However, he was betrayed to Eadbald by local pagan priest who heard of the bounty on Æthelwine's head. Eadbald sent someone to kill Æthelwine, who was murdered while crossing the ford in the middle of his home hamlet. They say that he'd been stabbed through the heart but was able to pray for the sins of those around him for an hour even though his heart had stopped beating; he forgave all involved before his death.
The site was said to responsible for many miracles.
