	Numidia - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The invasion of the Vandals in A.D. 428 reduced it to a condition of gradual decay; and the invasion of the Arabs in the 8th century again brought desolation on the land, which was aggravated by continual misgovernment till the conquest of Algeria by the French in 1833.

		The legionary fortress at Lambaesis was built by and for the African legion, III Augusta, probably in the 120s, during the reign of the emperor Hadrian.
		Lambaesis was situated at the north-west end of the Aures Mountain range in eastern Algeria (anc.
		However it is unclear whether Lambaesis was still in use at that stage as the legion by then formed part of the regional African field army whose units had no fixed, permanent stations.

		To the south in the interior military roads led to Theveste (Tebessa) and Lambaesis (Lambessa) with extensive Roman remains, connected by military roads with Cirta and Hippo respectively.
		Lambaesis was the seat of the Legio III Augusta, and the most important strategic centre, as commanding the passes of the Mons Aurasius, a mountain block which separated Numidia from the Gaetulian tribes of the desert, and which was gradually occupied in its whole extent by the Romans under the Empire.
		Including these towns there were altogether twenty which are known to have received at one time or another the title and status of Roman colonies; and in the 5th century the Notitia Dignitatum enumerates no less than 123 sees whose bishops assembled at Carthage in 479.

	Curle: Chapter 4, The Soldiers' Quarters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		At Lambaesis, which originally dates from the reign of Trajan, the barrack blocks have thirteen huts in each line, and the line terminates in a larger dwelling like the houses believed to have been occupied by the centurions at Novaesium.
		It is to the shrines of these barrack blocks that he attributes three inscriptions found at Lambaesis, dedications to the genius centuriae by the optiones or by veterans.
		It seems probable that, in the interval that elapsed between the erection of the buildings at Lambaesis, Novaesium, and Gellygaer, and the final occupation of Newstead in the second half of the second century, some modification had been made in the plan of such barrack buildings.

		In 75, Vespasian moved the camp of III Augusta from Ammaedara, near Theveste, to Lambaesis.
		In the reign of Hadrian (117–138), the legion was stationed at Lambaesis in Numidia.

	lamb - Lambaesis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Lambaesis is a major Roman town in the north of Africa, situated on the northern slope of the Awes mountains, which divide the fertile High Plateau from the Sahara to the south.
		There are also a series of questions concerning what happened to the area after the departure of the army - the arrival of the Vandals, the coming of Byzantine rule and, ultimately, the Arab conquest of North Africa - which we are hoping to elucidate.
		We are working in Algeria not only to learn about Lambaesis, but also to teach Algerian archaeologists the approaches and methods of archaeology employed in Britain.

		Later movements of the legionary base: Thevesta (Tebessa), and eventually Lambaesis (Tazoult-Lambèse) in +75, generally reflect the extension to the south and west of Roman authority in the province.
		This is reflected by numerous grave markers in the necropolis at Lambaesis of veterans of Syrian birth.
		Lambaesis contains an exceptional number of surviving inscriptions, making some aspects of Legio III Augusta's conditions of service very well documented.

	Legio III Augusta
		At the age of the emperor Hadrian (117-138), we find III Augusta at Lambaesis in Numidia.
		(Their tombstones have been found at Lambaesis.) Between 132 and 136, a large subunit served in the war against Bar Kochba, a messianic claimant in Judaea.
		In 175, legionaries of III Augusta took part in the Marcomannic campaign of Marcus Aurelius, which brought the African soldiers to Hungary.

	Mithra & Mithraism - The Followers of Mithras - (CAIS)
		He was born at Poetovio (the modern Pettau or Ptuj) in the province of Dalmatia, now north-western Yugoslavia, where there were three large Mithraic temples, and as commander of the Thirteenth Legion (Legio XIII Gemina) he consecrated an altar in a Mithraeum at Apulum (Alba Julia in Dacia, modern Rumania).
		Subsequently as commander of the Third Legion (Legio III Augusta) between the years A.D. 183 and 185 he consecrated altars at Lambaesis in Numidia.
		Aurelius Sabinus, who came from Carnuntum (Deutsch-Altenburg) east of Vindobona (Vienna), where Mithras enjoyed profound reverence, consecrated as commander an altar at Lambaesis, and L. Sextius Castus, a centurion of the sixth Legion, who was in all probability of African origin, erected a Mithraic altar at Rudchester.

		(12) Two of the inscriptions are dedications from Lambaesis (CBFIR 762 and 768), set up by beneficiari(i) eius and honouring the same legate, M. Aurelius Cominius, who was governor of Numidia in AD 246- 247.
		It would be interesting to know whether she was the wife of the same governor as the one whose name is lost in CBFIR 772.
		I have not counted CBFIR 766 (AE 1967.575), from Lambaesis, AD 176, as an example of associative titulature because the bottom of the inscription is broken off and eius is restored by modern editors.

		He visited Lepcis Magna and several other cities, of which Lepcis, Utica, and Carhtage received the privilege of being treateed as if they were Italian cities.
		Epigraphic evidence suggests that he inspected engineering work in Numidian Lambaesis, and the kingdom of Numidia was finally made a province.
		On his return, his arch was dedicated, and the seventh (and final) Ludi Saeculares were held.

		In Petra the paved, arcaded street, in the succession of the three markets, of the two opposite temples and of the Royal Palace, becomes a unity with the buildings themselves, just owing to the unifying role of the columned street – nearly a unique great Palace.
		Lambaesis, the permanent seat of the third Augustan Legion in Africa is still more interesting, the town is surronded by walls (550x450), its two columnaded streets look like cracks on a gigantic clay panel in a physical continuance with the compact order of the military buildings at he back.
		In Genova, with the decree of March 1550, an absolutely innovating episode is started in italian town planning.

	Numidia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		In 25 B.C. Numidia was merged with the original province of Africa.
		During Tiberius' reign the Numidian Tacfarinas led a serious insurrection which lasted from 17 to 24 B.C. In 197/8 B.C., Numidia became a separate province again when Septimius Severus moved the 3rd Legion from Africa Vetus to Lambaesis.
		For a short period in the early 4th century B.C. Numidia was divided into two provinces, Cirtensis, with its capital at Cirta, and Militiana, with its capital at Lambaesis.

	North African Kingdom of Numidia
		Caesar formed a new province, Africa Nova, from Numidian territory, and Augustus united Africa Nova ("New Africa") with Africa Vetus ("Old Africa," the province surrounding Carthage); but a separate province of Numidia was formally created by Septimius Severus.
		The Roman army's third legion took up its permanent station at Lambaesis (Lambessa), and as a result of the increased security the Numidians' population and prosperity increased substantially during the first two centuries AD.
		A few native communities achieved municipal status, but the majority of the population was little touched by Roman civilization.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2001.01.19
		It is well-known that cohorts II-X were normally accommodated in blocks of six barracks, one per centuria; Baatz usefully illustrates the phenomenon at Neuss, Inchtuthil, Nijmegen, Caerleon, Lambaesis and (less clearly) Lauriacum.
		At Lambaesis undifferentiated building phases have confused the plan so that, although five (though perhaps six) houses can be seen, there appear to be no more than eight (and perhaps as few as six) barrack blocks.
		At Nijmegen there are clearly five houses, but only six of the associated eight strip buildings can be identified as barracks.

	Roman tombstone from Housesteads on Hadrian's Wall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The term has been found in legionary inscriptions as well as in association with auxiliary units.
		The post-holders always appear to have been Roman citizens and their ages range from 25 (Anicius Ingenuus is thus the youngest recorded) to 85 - Caius Papirius Aelianus who died in Lambaesis in Algeria (CIL 18314).
		This information suggests that the term did not indicate attachment to a particular sort of unit, nor a particular social status, nor a stage in training.

	Hadrian
		His taste, however, was curious; he preferred Cato the Elder, Quintus Ennius and Caelius Antipater to Cicero, Virgil and Sallust, the obscure poet Antimachus to Homer and Plato.
		He composed an autobiography, published under the name of his freedman Phlegon; wrote speeches, fragments of two of which are preserved in inscriptions (a panegyric on his mother-in-law Matidia, andan address to the soldiers at Lambaesis in Africa).
		In imitation of Antimachus he wrote a work called Catachannae, probably a kind of miscellanea.

		Gates like this can also be seen in Theveste.
