El-Guerria
settlement · 30 BC – 2099 AD
Remains of superimposed Arab and Roman settlements recorded by Gsell (AAA, whence BAtlas) on and around a hill about three kilometers to the southwest of the village of "Medjana" at "El Guerria" on the "Oued Lechbour". The location should lie within a kilometer of the BAtlas coordinates: a point near modern Guerria and the modern road from Guerria to Meğana in the Algerian wilaya of Bordj Bou Arreridj. A nineteenth century identification of El-Guerria with attested ancient Equizito was soundly rejected by Gsell (AAA 15.91), but it is still reflected in some modern epigraphic databases.
