Ancient Village or Settlement in Algeria

The Phoenicians of Carthage settled in Iol or Jol, a large and important seaport, in the 4th century BCE. The town then became a part of the kingdom of Numidia under Jugurtha, who was executed by Rome in 104 BCE. Under roman rule. it then became known as Caesarea and has various splendid temples and monuments from the Punic, Numidian and Roman periods. Fragments remain of a white marble temple.
The coordinates are being given for the ancient theater.
