Rustamid Dynasty

Rustamid Dynasty

The Rustamids (or Rustumids, Rostemids) were a dynasty of Ibāḍī Kharijite imāms that ruled the central Maghreb as a Muslim theocracy for a century and a half from their capital Tahert in present Algeria, until the Ismailite Fatimid Caliphs destroyed it. The dynasty had a Persian origin. The exact extent of its dominions is not entirely clear, but it stretched as far east as Jabal Nafusa in Libya.
