Résumé
Undoudtedly, cities reflect humanity's need for stability. Any study of them should never discard what has been achieved through the long historical stages. This reality is clearly embodied in the Aurès region, which is rich in ancient cities of great historical and archaeological significance, including the Roman city of Lambaesis, characterised by its military origin and economic development. With the expansion of the Roman Empire, the city of Lambaesis (present-day Tazoult) emerged at the hands of the Third Augustan Legion, which established military centres to monitor and control desert routes, eventually making the Lambaesis the capital of the city. Gradually, groups of settlers began to flock to the area and take up residences, giving rise to a fully developed city with all its components. We seek to shed light on this city by identifying the most significant remains from this period, drawing on textual sources, various documents, and scholarly works.
