Hippo Regius

Hippo Regius was an important ancient Roman city located in modern-day Algeria, serving as the capital of the Roman province of Numidia. Known for its strategic coastal position, it thrived as a hub of commerce, culture, and Christianity during the Roman Empire. The city featured impressive architecture, including forums, temples, and baths, and was a prominent center for early Christian theology. Today, the archaeological site of Hippo Regius provides valuable insights into Roman urban life and early Christianity, and the nearby modern city of Annaba continues to be an important port and economic center in Algeria.
