Mesti is an important city in Roman times and is located on the Roman road between Carthage and Tebessa. The limits of the city were fixed by two arches of triumph erected on this road
It was established at the end of the 20th century BC by the Roman general Marius with his veterans. Later, the city was raised in the city center, through Julius Caesar or Augustus
The presence of Roman citizens is obvious in the first place.
It was also a lost city when the Byzantines became a bastion of their fight against the saboteurs later.
It is known for its archaeological remains and now biblical although it is only partial dig: there are still remnants of the forum, the market, many temples, reservoirs, and a number of Byzantine castle houses Romanian. A large area is always looking for.
