Historyedit
It was an old Numidian town which, having once belonged to the Masaesylian kingdom of Syphax, was annexed to that of Masinissa 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.
The ruins of Madauros are seen near Mdawrush. A fine Roman mausoleum, vast thermae, a Byzantine fortress, and a Roman basilica are noteworthy and have furnished several Christian inscriptions.
