Russicada (present-daySkikda), was the Mediterraneanportcity servingCirta, the capital of the Kingdom ofNumidia inAncient Algeria.
It overlooked the straits betweenSicily (Europe) andNumidia (Africa), a place of significant relevance in geopolitical strategies at the time. Russicada was mentioned by the medieval chroniclerGeoffrey of Monmouth in his pseudo-historical accounts of the mythical kings of Britain and their deeds as "Rusicada" — aLatin spelling easily confused with themothgenusRusicada.
