Sidi Brahim

Sidi Brahim, located in the Sidi Bel Abbès Province of Algeria, is an archaeological site known for the remnants of the Roman town Bencenna. This site was part of the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis and is significant for its association with the Roman Empire during the Late Classical Period. The ruins identified at Sidi Brahim provide insights into Roman urban planning and regional influence in North Africa. While the site is historically important for the Battle of Sidi Brahim during the French conquest of Algeria in the 19th century CE, its archaeological significance primarily stems from its Roman heritage. The presence of Roman town structures signifies its role in the broader Roman provincial network, shedding light on ancient urbanization patterns in the region.
