Benzina was, in 2011, Director of Research at the National Heritage Institute based in Tunis.[1] She is an expert on ancient Tunisia and North Africa, and in particular Roman Africa, Carthage. Her work with Jean Payras on inscriptions in pre-consulate North Africa was described by R M Kerr as "enlightening".[2] Her catalogue of Latin inscriptions held in the Bardo National Museum was reviewed by Louis Maurin, who described it as erudite, with the commentary writing is a concise yet lively style.[3] On her work on the inscriptions at Haïdra, written with François Baratte and Fathi Bejaoui, their extensive work was described as "an imposing volume".[4] A festschrift, dedicated to her work and edited by Samir Aounallah and L. Naddari, was published in 2024; it was entitled: Fragments d'histoire et d'épigraphie ronaines, Hommages offerts à Zeineb Benzina Ben Abdallah.[5]
