History
Now the Spanish exclave of Ceuta, Septem is an ancient port whose phases are not entirely clear owing to modern overburden. The city was the seat of a bishopric in the Byzantine period and was the last of Morocco's cities to recognize the authority of the emperor at the time of the Arab conquest.
