Messad (sometimes Messaad; Arabic: مسعد) is a town in Algeria. It was the Roman Castellum Dimmidi.
History[edit]
It is about 290 km (180 mi) south of Algiers. During the Roman period it was known as Castellum Dimmidi after the Romans under emperor Septimius Severus seized the settlement.[2] It is unclear if the second part of the name, Dimmidi, was a native name transliterated into Latin, or a new name given by the Romans.
As the Castellum (castle) implies, the settlement was a fortress along the Limes Tripolitanus, the southern border of the province of Numidia. It was a prosperous village and hosted a Roman garrison from roughly 198 to 240 AD.[3]
Messaad has a population of nearly 120,000 inhabitants.
