History
PeriodsRoman Empire, Vandal Kingdom, Byzantine Empire, Umayyad dynasty

Bagai was a RomanBerber city in the province of Africa Proconsularis. It must have been of some reasonable size, as it was also the seat of an ancient Catholic bishopric. The ancient city has been identified with ruins at Ksar-Bagaï outside of Baghai, in the Aurès Mountains of the El Hamma District in Khenchela Province, Algeria.
