History
During the Numidian era (399BC-50BC), the region was highly cultivated and protected by military points spread all over the place, still present today.[2][3]
The town's Early African Christian history is portrayed in the Eloa status in the town agora. Eloa, the angel of sorrow and compassion in Christian Mythology is said to have been born from a tear Jesus shed. In Alfred de Vigny's poem Eloa, we find Jesus at Lazarus' grave. He is deeply moved by the grief of Martha and Mary after losing their brother. So he sheds one heavenly tear, and Eloa is born.
