Volubilis is a magnificent archaeological site and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, being one of the most important Roman remains in North Africa. The town was located close to Meknes in northern Morocco and was the main city of the Roman province of Mauretania Tingitana during the time from the 1st to the 3rd century AD. The city that once existed can still be seen through the ruins that are still standing. These ruins consist of triumphal arches, basilicas, temples, and residential villas that give a clear and lively picture of urban Roman life at the edge of the Empire. With rich soil surrounding it, the Volubilis site was always flourishing due to its olives and was, therefore, a place where the Romans and the local people mingled and exchanged ideas culturally.
