Phoenician merchants established Tipasa on Algeria's western
Mediterranean coast in the sixth century B.C., but the city did not
reach its apex until the second and first centuries B.C. When it was
annexed to the Roman Empire in A.D. 40, Emperor Claudius granted
residents Jus Latii (rights of fellow Roman citizens).
Over the centuries, Tipasa ruled by Berbers and Vandals
and was abandoned in the sixth century after a brief revival under the
Byzantines. Archaeologists rediscovered the site in 1856 and excavations
have been continuous. Remains have been unearthed on both sides of a
Roman wall, including one of the most important paleo-Christian
cemeteries in North Africa, an amphitheater, temples, forum,
fourth-century basilica, baths, and mosaic works.
