Lixus

Larache, Morocco

Lixus (Berber languages: ⵍⵓⴽⵓⵙ, Phoenician: 𐤋𐤊𐤅𐤔) is an ancient city developed by Phoenicians (8th–7th century BC) over a pre-existing Bronze Age settlement, before the city of Carthage. Its distinguishing feature is that it was continuously occupied from antiquity to the Islamic Era, and has ruins dating to the Phoenician (8th–6th centuries BC), Punic (5th–3rd centuries BC), Mauretanian (2nd century BC–AD 50), Roman (AD 50–6th century AD) and Islamic (12th–15th centuries AD) periods.
