Under the theme “Massinissa: the heart of the consecration of a first Numidian State”, the meeting is a way to revisit the history of Numidia and attune the many facets of a civilization that remained among the few that marked the region.
Occasionally, some twenty interventions are devoted to the geopolitical and economic situation that contributed to the emergence of the Numidian State, as presented by historians. Many scientists and archaeologists, some from Tunisia, Italy, the United States, or Algeria, is expected to host a series of lectures on the subject.

As a reminder, responsible companies to rehabilitate schools, two of the oldest of Constantine were violently shaken last week by the Wali of Constantine. Ouadah- struggled to hide his anger during the tour he had done at the scene, presumably in anticipation of the ministerial visit.
Yards lagging since early 2013. Yet expected this year, the makeover of the two “monuments” dating from the colonial period, may not be completed, and the reasons are simple: companies who applied at the launch of the tender notice does not have the skills required in this type of activity and suddenly, they would be lost in sensitive sites. Thus, delays, additional costs were added and imperfections.
