Tiddis, Latin. Castellum Tidditanorum - an ancient Roman city located in eastern Algeria, northwest of Cyrta.

Situated on a rocky hill, the city was one of a series of small settlement-settlements surrounding the Cyrta ring. In the middle of the second century, it gained a certain degree of independence. The city entered through the arch crowned with the inscription "Quintus Memmius Rogatus, son of Publius, from tribe Quirina, edyl, he erected this arch with gates at his own expense". At the stone-paved main street, a carved shrine in the rock in honor of Mithra, a Christian chapel from the time of the late empire, and a small square with two water cisterns were dug up. There was a forum on the upper terrace.

Tiddis came from the second-century Quintus Lollius Urbikus, governor of Britain and prefect of the city of Rome. It was honored with a statue standing on the forum (its base has been preserved along with the commemorative inscription), and to the north of Tiddis there is a family mausoleum built by him.
