Iulia Valentia Banasa

Historical Site

Human settlement

Iulia Valentia Banasa, corresponding to modern day Sidi Ali Boujnoun, was a Roman-Berber city in northern Morocco. It was one of the three colonias in Mauretania Tingitana founded by emperor Augustus between 33 and 25 BC for veterans of the battle of Actium, on top of a Mauretanian village. The site was in fact already occupied by the local Amazigh people from the 4th century BC, or perhaps earlier.
