As attested by an inscription found on the site in 1901 and a passage in Ammianus, this fortified country estate was built by one Sammac, son of Nubel, whose brother Firmus assassinated him and raised a revolt against the Romans in the 370s CE. The modern placename associated with the site is M'lakou; it is located near Ighzar Amoqrane in Algeria's Kabylia province.
