Mauretania Tingitana

44 – 429
Sovereign stateAfrica

Western Roman province carved from the Kingdom of Mauretania on the death of its last Ptolemaic-line ruler; covered roughly the northern tip of present-day Morocco from the Strait of Gibraltar south to Sala Colonia and Volubilis, its effective control receding into a network of forts and ditches (a limes) rather than a continuous frontier.

Remained under Roman administration (later attached to the Diocese of Hispaniae under Diocletian's reforms of 297) until the Vandals overran the province in 429, ending Roman rule.
