Ancient Village or settlement in Algeria
Ikosim was founded in 1100 BCE as a Phoenician commercial outpost or emporium which later developed into a small Roman town called Icosium which existed on what is now the marine quarter of the city. The rue de la Marine follows the lines of what used to be a Roman street, Decumenus. Roman cemeteries existed near Bab-el-Oued.
Exact location unknown, position given for the Bardo Museum, which has some prehistoric pieces.
