This is a roman fountain at Djemila, Algeria (Latin: Cuicul or Curculum). There's a vast amount of literature and web material on Djemila in general (and some on the fountain), for example:

The Princeton Encyclopedia of Classical Sites (Richard Stillwell et al), on Cuicul in general
Cuicul: New/Severian Town
The french Wikipedia article on Djemila is quite comprehensive and has a section about the fountain
