Tamentfoust (Template:Langx), the classical Rusguniae and colonial La Pérouse, is a site in the Dar El Beïda District of Algiers in Algeria.
Geography
Tamentfoust lies on Cape Matifou, which forms the northeast side of the Bay of Algiers.
Names
The Roman name Script error: No such module "Lang". is a latinization of the Punic name Page Template:Smallcaps/styles.css has no content.ršgny (Script error: No such module "Lang".), meaning "Francolin Cape" and referring to nearby Cape Matifou.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. Ptolemy hellenized the name as Rhoustónion (Template:Langx),[3] and it appears in late sources as Rusgume,[4] Rugunie,[5] and Rusgimia.[6]
The French name Script error: No such module "Lang". (literally "Perugia") honored the naval officer and explorer Jean-François de Galaup, who owned an estate of that name.
Tamentfoust is a Berber name for "right side", from the cape's position relative to Algiers. The present name of the cape, Matifou, is a 14th-century Spanish approximation of the Berber name.
History
Rusguniae was established as a colony along the trade route between the Strait of Gibraltar and Phoenicia. It consisted of a small fortress on Cape Matifou.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. It eventually fell under Carthaginian control, probably during the 6th century BC.
After the Punic Wars, the area fell under Roman hegemony and Augustus established a colony there[7][8] for the 9th Legion at some point during his reign.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.
In late antiquity, it was part of the Vandal Kingdom prior to the Byzantine reconquest of Africa. It was overrun by the Umayyad Caliphate in the 7th century.
Bordj Tamentfoust or Tamentfoust Castle was built by Ramdhan Agha in 1661. It was the site of the official declaration of a jihad against France on 23 July 1830, in response to the French invasion of the country.
