Volubilis (which the Arabs called Walila) was one of the oldest Roman cities that is currently Morocco. Its ruins are located 4 km from the small town Moulay Driss Zerhoun, north of Meknes and were declared UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.Roman PeriodVolubilis was an important Roman town located near the western border of the Roman Empire. It was built on the site of an ancient Carthaginian town (at least) the third century, which in turn was built on the ruins of a Neolithic village.Volubilis, in antiquity, was the administrative center of the province of Mauritania Tingitana. It became prosperous due to trade wheat, wildlife and oil. Archaeologists discovered the presence of a Jewish community in the city.After the RomansThe Romans evacuated most of Morocco in the third century, but Volubilis was not abandoned. However, it is believed that was destroyed by an earthquake in the late fourth century. It was reoccupied in the sixth century.The texts that refer to the arrival of Idris I (Moulay Idriss) in 788 show that the city was on the field of Awraba Berber tribe, who gave the welcome and became imam shortly thereafter. In three years consolidated its dominance in much of the area, founded the first settlement in Fez and began to produce coins. He died in 791, leaving his pregnant wife awraba and his faithful slave, Rashid, who took the role of regent until the majority of Idris II. At this point the court departed for Fez, leaving Awraba in control of the city.
