==Characteristics==
Albulae was a Roman settlement in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis, whose site is now occupied by Aïn Témouchent in western Algeria.
Albulae was made of a Roman fort and a vicus (small village-city) populated by romanised Berbers. It was founded by Hadrian in 119 AD with the name "Proesidium Sufative", and renamed one century later as Albulae (or "albine" city in Latin). It was a Christian center after the fourth century (and some Christian Berbers remained living there until the tenth century, according to Arab historian El Békri 〔(History of Albulae/Ain Temouchent (in French) )〕).
Albulae, according to historian Lawless, was a vicus that achieved independent status from the castrum-fort and had an important pagan temple, later converted to Christian church. The Roman settlement probably reached 5,000 inhabitants and was surrounded by many farms〔Lawless, R. "Mauretania Caesartiensis: anarcheological and geographical survey" Section: The Roman Civilian Sites. p.122-195〕
