Summary
A meticulous analysis of Arabic sources reveals previously overlooked references to the toponym 'Dougga' (Thugga) by two Shiite authors, enriching our understanding of its historical nomenclature. The study, based on a comprehensive survey, translation, and content analysis of these texts, sheds light on the site's significance during the Islamic conquest period. By focusing on lesser-known works, the research uncovers nuanced perspectives that challenge conventional narratives about Dougga's name and identity in early Arab historiography.
