Madauros was a Numidian city ruled successively by African kings Syphax (r. c. 215-203 BCE) and Massinissa (r. 202-148 BCE). It became an important Roman colony in the Flavian period, and one of its notable residents was the Platonist philosopher and rhetorician Lucius Apuleius (c. 124 to after 170 CE). The ruins of Madauros include a circular paved market, a forum with a basilica, and a Byzantine fortress with square corner towers.
