Castellum Dimmidi

Algeria

Messad (also Messaâd; مسعد) is a town and commune in Djelfa Province, Algeria. It lies in the Ouled Naïl region on the Saharan Atlas steppe margin, where an oasis and wadi system supports settlement and agriculture. The modern town is traditionally associated with the Roman frontier outpost known in antiquity as Castellum Dimmidi, also recorded locally as Ksar el-Baroud.
