Location
About
The site near Souk El Khemis, Algeria, is notable for the ruins of an ancient Roman town known as Tatilti. These ruins suggest the presence of a Roman settlement during the Classical Period, specifically between the 1st century BCE and the 5th century CE. The location likely served as a hub of Roman domestic and civic life, given its categorization as a town. The site's archaeological significance lies in its potential to provide insights into Roman urban planning and daily life in North Africa during this period. Tatilti's proximity to the modern-day town of Souk El Khemis, whose name translates to 'Thursday Market,' indicates a long-standing tradition of settlement and commerce in the area.
