Summary
A groundbreaking study on the paleochristian heritage of eastern Algeria reveals the region's architectural richness, dating back to the 1st century AD and peaking in the 4th century. Focusing on emblematic sites like Theveste (Tébessa), Hippone (Annaba), Cuicul (Djémila), and Thamugadi (Timgad), the research employs advanced virtual restitution technologies to document, analyze, and preserve these monuments. This methodology offers a dynamic approach to heritage conservation, creating an evolving database that integrates new discoveries and interventions. The study also highlights the urgent need for legal protection and modernization of preservation strategies in Algeria, aiming to safeguard this invaluable cultural legacy for future generations.
