Tubusuctu, Roman archaeological site in El Kseur, Algeria.

The ruins of Tubusuctu contain remains of thermal baths, extensive water cisterns, and ancient ramparts along the Soummam River bank at 52 meters elevation.

Augustus established this colony in the first century AD as Colonia Iulia Augusta Legionis VII, settling veterans from the Legio VII Claudia military unit.

The settlement developed into a regional center for olive oil production, with Tiklat containers found across different regions of the Roman Empire.

Visitors can observe the architectural remains of aqueducts, public buildings, and a large square bathhouse that demonstrates Roman engineering capabilities.

The site maintains evidence of early Christian activity through records of bishops from 411 and 484, with its titular see continuing in the Roman Catholic Church.
