مجتمع سيقوس (Castellum Siguitanum)‎ ومعبوداته في ظل الاحتلال الروماني من خلال النقوش

الملخص EN

The countryside of the ancient Maghreb hasn’t occupied an important party, in general, and especially its social and religious history by modern studies, unlike the history of towns, despite its importance role in all fields, particularly economic and military ones, during the Roman period as well as previous and posterior periods to this the occupation.

Within this framework our study deals with the community and beliefs of one of the ancient nomadic villages, which still retain its ancient name up to now: the city of Sigus-Castellum Siguitanum” which is located approximately 25 kilometers in the southeast of Ain Mlila, in the territory of Oum Elbouagui.

The latter, whose name was associated- under the Roman Occupation- with a location built on a plain situated on the eastern and southwestern side of the right bank of Wadi Al Qallab.

It was known from the third century AD through the writings of ancient geographers in the Itinerarium Antonini Augausti and in the Tabla Peutingaria) and in the ecclesiastical documents of the Carthage complex held in the year 411 AD, and through epigraphs.

The question asked on this issue can be about the origins of the inhabitants of this town in terms of their ethnic components, their legal status, social classes and their beliefs idolatry under this occupation.
