{{anchor|Names|Etymology}}

Name

Tebessa, written {{lang|fr|Tébessa}} in French, was known to the ancient Greeks as Thebéstē ({{lang|grc|Θεβέστη}}) or Hekatompýlē ({{lang|grc|Ἑκατομπύλη}}, "Hundred Gates"). This was latinized as Theveste.

History

{{main|Theveste}}

In antiquity, Theveste formed part of the Roman empire{{nbsp}}{{sc|bc}}.

After the establishment of the Roman Empire, the 3rd Augustan Legion was based in Theveste before being transferred to Lambaesis. Theveste later became a Roman colony, probably under Trajan in the early 2nd century. At the time of Trajan, it was a flourishing city with around 30,000 inhabitants. The ruins surviving in present-day Tebessa are very rich in ancient monuments, among them being a triumphal arch of Caracalla, a Roman temple, and a Christian basilica of the 4th century.

There is mention of a council held there by the Donatists. Among its saints were its bishop Lucius, who assisted at the 256 Council of Carthage and died as a martyr two years later; Maximilianus, martyred 12 March 295; Crispina, martyred 5 December 304. Some of its other bishops are known: Romulus in 349; Urbicus in 411; Felix exiled by the Vandals in 484; Palladius mentioned in an inscription.

During the 4th and 5th century, Theveste was a hotbed of Manichaeism as well. In June 1918, a Latin codex of 26 leaves written by the Manichaeans was discovered in a cave near the city. A month later, Henri Omont found its other 13 initial leaves. The whole book is now known as the Tebessa codex and is kept in Cologne. It has been edited by Markus Stein.

Theveste was rebuilt by the patrician Solomon at the beginning of the reign of {{nowrap|Justinian I.}} Solomon built his own tomb in Theveste,
