Answer

Volubilis was originally a proto-Carthaginian settlement, meaning it was established before the Carthaginian Empire. The settlement was located in what is now Morocco and was founded in the 6th century BC. The settlement was eventually conquered by the Romans in the 1st century BC and became a Berber-Roman city. The city was eventually abandoned in the 8th century AD and was rediscovered by Europeans in the 19th century.
