Quintus Lollius Urbicus Mausoleum

The circular stone mausoleum stands on Mount Chouaïa near El Heri, featuring intricate sculptural details and Latin inscriptions on its walls.

The monument dates from the second century AD and contains the remains of Quintus Lollius Urbicus, who served as governor of Roman Britain from 138 to 144.

This structure represents the fusion of Roman and Numidian influences, reflecting the integration of local North African nobility into the Roman administration system.

Located 25 kilometers northwest of Constantine, near the ancient city of Tiddis, the site requires advance planning and suitable transportation for access.

The mausoleum includes family narratives carved in stone, documenting the achievements of a Numidian who became Rome's prefect and built the Antonine Wall.
