But in between it was the Roman city of Volubilis.
The Romans made Mauretania a client state, took the kings sone as a hostage to be educated in Rome, and absorbed the kingdom as a province once the line died out. Who could have seen that one coming? (Everyone.)
I’d never heard of this city but, that’s the beauty even of “armchair” travel! Of course the other benefit, I learn, you pay.
