Altava is an ancient Roman city, located in modern-day Algeria. Named Lamoriciere at the time of the French presence, is located at Ouled Mimoun near Tlemcen.
History
Altava was located in western Mauretania Caesariensis on the Roman road from strategic Theveste to Numerus Syrorum (actual Magnia).
After the Vandal invasion in 429 AD, Altava became the capital of an independent Romano-Berber state. Between 550 and 578 AD the city was the capital of the independent Berber kingdom of Garmul.
The last time the kingdom of Altava was cited historically was in connection with a campaign of Gennadius, Master of the Soldiers sent by the byzantine empire. He defeated the Garmules berbers and the ruler of Altava in 578 AD and his small kingdom was probably incorporated to the Byzantine Empire. But it is also conceivable that the kingdom of Altava (or at least a small section of it) lasted until its conquest by the Arabs around 700 AD.
