M'Lili


M'Lili is a town and commune in Biskra Province, Algeria. According to the 1998 census it has a population of 5,151. During Roman times a large military settlement near the town was called Gemellae, though this may merely have been the Latin transliteration of the native name. It was seized by the Romans, and became a strategic settlement of the Limes Zabensis, the southern border of the province Numidia. Its name did not or only slightly change under Roman rule.
