Answer
Volubilis was never retaken by Rome due to its remoteness and indefensibility. The city was located in a mountainous region of northwest Africa, making it difficult to access and defend. In addition, the city was surrounded by hostile Berber tribes, who would have been difficult for the Romans to defeat. As a result, Rome abandoned its efforts to retake Volubilis and focused on other areas of North Africa.
