The site of present-day Béja, ancient Vaga, has yielded a bas-relief depicting a group of seven Libyan deities also known as the Dii Mauri. This depiction is extremely rare today. The deities are depicted with mutilated faces: Bonchor in the center, Varsissima and Vihinam, Macurgum on the right, and Matilam on the left. Two deities on horseback flank the bas-relief: Magurtam on the left and Lunam on the right. The work dates from the 3rd century.
