Tabula Peutingeriana showing Ad Plumbaria

Ad Plumbaria was a civitas (town) of the Roman North Africa.[1] The town flourished from AD 300-AD 640.[2]

The town is shown on the Tabula Peutingeriana,[3] as being on the road to Hippo Regius.[4] The presumed ruins of the town were discovered in the mid-1800s in the middle of the Lake of Fetzara.[5]
