Vageata
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vageata, also known as Vageatensis,[1] was a Roman-Berber town in the province of Mauretania Caesariensis.[2] It is also known as Bagatensis,[3] and epigraphical evidence remains attesting to this etymology,[4][5][6] due to the interchange of 'v' for 'b' is a common phenomenon in Latin and Greek place names.
The city has been identified with ruins at El-Haria, located east of Cirta en route to Thibilis.[7] It was mentioned by Optatus of Milevis, in Numidia.[8]
