Meninx is a Tunisian archaeological site located on the southeastern coast of the island of Djerba, at the end of the route that connects it to the mainland. The site extends over two kilometres in length and eight hundred metres in width, part of which was probably submerged by the sea. Originally, it was a commercial trading post founded by the Phoenicians. The city reached its peak during the Roman period, when it became the administrative centre of the island. Urban life continued there until the Byzantine period, in the 6th century.
