M'daourouch is a municipality in Souk Ahras, Algeria, occupying the site of the Berber-Roman town of Madauros (or Madaura) in Numidia. DemographicsAs of the 1998 census, Mdawrush has 24,919 inhabitants, which gives it 11 seats in the PMA. HistoryIt was an old Numidian town which, having once belonged to the Kingdom of Syphax, was annexed to that of Massinissa at the close of the second Punic War. It became a Roman colony about the end of the first century and was famous for its schools. It was the native town of Apuleius, author of The Golden Ass, and of the grammarians Nonius Marcellus and Maximus. St. Augustine studied there; through a letter which he addressed later to the inhabitants we learn that many were still pagans. Madauros (sometimes called even "Madaurus") had many martyrs known by their epitaphs; several are named in the Roman Martyrology on 4 July. Its bishopric is included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees.[1] Three bishops are known: Antigonus, who attended the Council of Carthage (349), 349; Placentius, the Council of Carthage (407) and the Council of Carthage (411); Pudentius, sent into exile by the Vandal king Huneric with the other bishops who had been present at the Council of Carthage (484). The ruins of Madauros are seen near Mdawrush. A fine Roman mausoleum, vast baths, a Byzantine fortress, a Christian basilica are noteworthy and have furnished several Christian inscriptions.
