Nacéra Benseddik (نَصِيرة بِن صِدّيق, Naṣīrah Bin Ṣiddīq) is an Algerian historian, archaeologist and epigrapher. She was born in Bordj Bou Arreridj on 4 December 1949. Benseddik's focusses on the classical and late Antique history and archaeology of Algeria. She has published widely on the subject through books and articles, as well as conference papers and editing Wikipedia. She is interested in interactions between Roman migrants and people already living in North Africa, particularly in the late Antique period. She is responsible for creating a critical edition of classical and medieval sources from and on Algeria, as part of the Centre Recherche en Anthropologie Sociale et Culturale (CRASC). As a curator, Benseddik contributed to the 2016 exhibition Made In Algeria, which was a collaboration between the Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art (INHA), the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BnF) and the Musée des Civilisations de l’Europe et de la Méditerranée (MUCEM). She currently teaches at the University of Algiers. Her doctoral research was undertaken at Paris-Sorbonne, where she studied the cult of Aesculapius and his assimilation with the Punic god Eshmun and a Libyan healing deity. Benseddik is notable for her research into the cult of Neptune, including identifying previously unknown monuments. This is part of her ongoing study into how the gods of the classical pantheon were adopted and adapted in North Africa - particularly Neptune and Aesculapius and their roles in cults of healing in North Africa. Her study of the site of Lambèse contributed to understanding of the cult of Aesculapius in greater detail. She has also studied the cult of Mercury and its relationship to trade. Benseddik is among the first to research women's lives in classical Algeria. In particular she is interested in how contemporary Roman and Greek writers have preserved snippets of information about the Berber women they encountered and these excerpts form some of the only surviving information we have about these African women's lives.
