Don's vacation in Morocco

In 1874, the French archeologist and diplomat Tissot identified the ruins, and further extensive excavations were started in 1915 which revealed that the site had been occupied since Neolithic times. Before Mauretania became part of the Roman Empire in 40 A.D., Volubilis was one of the two capitals of the Kingdom of Juba II; the it became the headquarters of the Roman procurators of Mauretania. Towards the end of the 3rd century A.D., it was more or less abandoned by the Romans but nevertheless continued to be occupied by Christianized Berbers who remained faithful to the Latin tongue until they were conquered by Arabs.
