Cinithians were an ancient Berber tribe of Roman North Africa,[1] who occupied the area of modern Algeria.
Near the Roman town of Githis, in southern Tunisia, there is a second-century dedication to The Empire and Memmius Pacatus, who 'stood out among his people'.
He was believed to be a leader of the tribe and his family went on to achieve senatorial rank.
At the veteran colony of Sitifis there is another inscription that mentions the tribe of the Cinithians.
[3] They are also cited by Cornelius Tacitus as "...a nation by no means contemptible".
