The Baptistry at Sbeitla in Tunisia

The baptistry was in a separate room behind the apse of the basilica.
Note that it is constructed in shape which suggest the womb, perhaps
to suggest that baptism is a rebirth. The bases for the four columns which
supported the ciborium over the font are evident.  The back wall of the apse
of the basilica is evident at the top of the image.  The back wall of the
baptistry itself is evident in the lower right hand corner.
