Sidi Medien is a village in Zaghouan Governorate, Tunisia.[1]

The town formerly known as Vallis under the French is on the A3 morotway from Tunisia, and has a mosque, and the remains of a Roman Theater.[2] A number of Roman Inscriptions can be found near the theater.[3] The Roman era city appears to have been a colonia, by the name of Vallitanus.[4]
