Tamentfoust
Tamentfoust (Arabic: تمنتفوست), the classical Rusguniae and colonial La Pérouse, is a site in the Dar El Beïda District of Algiers in Algeria.[3] Ptolemy hellenized the name as Rhoustónion (Ancient Greek: Ῥουστόνιον),[4] and it appears in late sources as Rusgume,[5] Rugunie,[6] and Rusgimia.[7] The French name La Pérouse (literally "Perugia") honored the naval officer and explorer Jean-François de Galaup, who owned an estate of that name.After the Punic Wars, the area fell under Roman hegemony and Augustus established a colony there[8][9] for the 9th Legion at some point during his reign.It was notionally restored as a Catholic titular see in the 20th century: Alongside the museum at Bordj Tamentfoust, the site also has ruins of Roman Rusguniae.
