After Rome defeated Carthage in the Punic Wars, these Mauritanian cities became important regional centers of this part of the North African Roman Empire. The Romans did some expeditions south of their Mauretania Tingitana, perhaps reaching the area north of the river Senegal populated by the Pharusii tribe After the defeat of Carthage it became Roman territory [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Mauritania.png/300px-Mauritania.png[/IMG] ^^^ occuring in what was called Mauretania Tingitana That is Roman Mauretania spelled with an E these in what is now called Morocco while modern Mauritania spelled with an is here: [IMG]http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/africa/mrafrica.gif[/IMG] So Tichit-Walata was in the Southern area of what is now modern Mauritania and the closest Phoenican cities were in what is now Morroco ( as well as Tuniisa etc. ) The illustration portays Phoenicians traders trading with Mandé merchants of the Pre-Imperial Mali in the 10th c I'm not sure that happened, would need to see another source verifying it.

Yeah modern day names of a location is not always the same as the ancient name of a location. [/QB][/QUOTE]
