Tiddis (called even ''Castellum Tidditanorum'' or ''Tiddi''〔(Jérôme Carcopino, "Le travail archéologique en Algérie pendant la guerre (1939-1942)" in ''Comptes rendus des séances de l'Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres'', Year 1942, Volume 86, Issue 4-6, p. 307 )〕) was a Roman city that depended on Cirta. It was located on the territory of the current commune of Bni Hamden in the Constantine Province of eastern Algeria.〔Mounir Bouchenaki, ancient cities of Algeria, collection Art and Culture No. 12, Algiers, Ministry of Information and Culture, 1978 (114 p.) (ISBN 84-399-7904-5)〕 ==History== Today Tiddis is an authentic Roman site called ''Res eddar'' or the ''peak of the House'' located in the Gorge of the Khreneg, just north of Cirta.〔(Detailed map, showing the location of Castellum Tidditanorum just north of Roman Cirta )〕 It marks the presence of a Roman civilization through rock art inscriptions and Roman pottery. Tiddis was built by the Romans and arranged according to their system of urbanization.〔Serge Lancel, the ancient Algeria, Editions Mengès, 2003, (ISBN 2-85620-431-7)〕〔André Berthier, Tiddis, cited ancient Numidia, les Belles lettres, 2000 Acad.〕 This prosperous town, established on a plateau, had a monumental gate, baths, industrial facilities (tanneries), a sanctuary to Mithras dating back to the 4th century BC, and also a Christian chapel.〔André Berthier, the Numidia, Rome and the Maghreb, Ed.picard, 1981.〕〔André Berthier, R.S. Davis and c. Ogle, new research on the Bellum Jugurthinum, 2001.〕 Castles and water tanks of all forms remind us that the city has gradually been abandoned because it lacked sources. One can admire the mausoleum that Quintus Lollius Urbicus, a native of Tiddis (and son of a romanised Berber landowner) who then became prefect of Rome.〔〔André Berthier, j. July, r. Charlier, the Bellum Jugurthinum of Sallust and the problem of Chen, R.S.A.C., 1949〕 Under Byzantine control Castellum Tidditanorum had two small churches and was the See of a Dioceses〔(Tiddis, with some photos (in Italian) )〕 The Christian community probably disappeared with the Arab conquest in the second half of the 7th century, but some pottery remains showed the survival of a small village inside the ruins of Tiddis until the 9th century.〔 Andre Berthier.
