Tipasa, distinguished as Tipasa in Numidia, was a town in the Roman province of Numidia in North Africa. Its ruins are located 957 meters (3,140 ft) above sea level near present-day Tifesh in Constantine Province, Algeria, 88 kilometers (55 mi) south of Annaba.
History
Tipasa was a Carthaginian trading post under the name ṬPʿTN (Punic: 𐤈𐤐𐤏𐤕𐤍).[1] It was connected with the port Hippo Regius by a road; they struck their coins in common.[1]
It was taken over by the Roman Republic at some point after the Punic Wars.
