History
A Roman-era camp with bath and associated hot springs in modern Algeria's Charef district. The site, now built over by a modern resort hotel complex, was located where the modern road between Charef and Djelfa crosses the Oued el Hadjia. In 2026, OpenStreetMap records the local post office as having the name "El Hammam".
