Calama was a colonia in the Roman province of Numidia situated where Guelma in Algeria now stands.[1]

G. Mokhtar places it just within the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis, to the east of Numidia,[2] but it is generally believed to have been in Numidia,[3][4][5][6] a province created probably in 198–199.[2]
