Diana Veteranorum, Roman archaeological site in Zana El Beida, Algeria.

The excavated remains include oil presses, farms, cisterns, wells, and a rectangular forum paved with stone flagstones.

The settlement was established in the 2nd century AD as a residence for veterans of the Third Augustan Legion under Emperor Trajan's rule.

The archaeological findings reveal the transformation from Roman military settlement to Byzantine cultural center, with temples converted into Christian structures.

Visitors need to arrange transportation with local tour operators to reach the site, located 90 kilometers southwest of Constantine.

The site contains two distinct forts from different periods: a small one attached to Macrinus arch and a larger one 100 meters east of the forum.

Location: Algeria
