It became an important [Roman](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/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](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Byzantine/) fortress with square corner towers. ## Cite This Work ### APA Raddato, C.
