Hammam Essalihine is an ancient Roman thermal bath complex situated in the Aurès Mountains of northeastern Algeria, approximately 7 kilometers from Khenchela in El Hamma District [1]. The therapeutic hot springs have been utilized for nearly two millennia, with origins dating to the Roman imperial period, likely during the late 1st century AD [1]. The site exemplifies Roman hydraulic engineering and bathing culture in North Africa and continues today as a functioning tourist and therapeutic destination [1].
