History
A Roman senatorial estate located southwest of ancient Sufes, epigraphically attested in the second century CE, and owned at least for a period by the otherwise unknown senator Lucilius Africanus. Its location and extent is thought to have corresponding roughly to the later, late-antique province of Byzacena.
