Popis: Three recently discovered Latin inscriptions have just enriched the epigraphic and onomastic folder of two ancient sites in Algeria. Two of these three documents (comprising votive texts) were unearthed during a clandestine excavation at the site of “Henchir El-Qsiba” (the ancient Civitas Popthensis), located 64 km northeast of Souk Ahras. In addition, a third funerary stele has been found in a location known as "El-Zaouia" in "Djebel Chechar" (south of Khenchela) after June 2018’s heavy rains. First, a succinct overview of the two sites will be included in this paper. After that, we shall handle the information pertaining to every one of the unpublished steles using an archaeo-descriptive approach, to which we have added the lecture of three (03) inscriptions, according to a methodology proper for the epigraphist. Furthermore, a number of previously unknown names to the onomastic lists of African names recorded in Latin during the Roman period were the subject of a specific investigation, they are in fact : two anthroponyms : IARVACCHIUS (Gentilicium), AMIZAUAN (unique name) and one ethnonym (unicum) : LEMLAMITANI.
