 Hadrumetum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hadrume(n)tum (sometimes called Adrametum or Adrametus) was a Phoenician colony earlier than Carthage, and was already an important town when the latter rose to greatness.
In the 9th century BC, the Phoenicians, astute Levantine maritime traders (who would later be supplanted in Northern Africa by their major colony, Carthage), sensed the possibilities of a port city south of present-day Tunis and founded Hadrumetum on what is now the Gulf of Hammamet in the Mediterranean Sea.
The city allied itself with Rome during the Punic Wars, thereby escaping damage or ruin and entered a relatively peaceful 700-year stint under Pax Romana, although Hannibal made use of it as a military base in his campaign against Scipio Africanus at the close of the Second Punic War.

 Grace
The relatively modest literature produced by the monks of Hadrumetum and Southern Gaul, among which the works of Cassian occupy a prominent place, does not lend itself to an "inward" genetic methodology.
We thus surmise that the monks of both Hadrumetum and Southern Gaul had probably shared the ascetic endeavour characteristic of Pelagianism, without having to share the doctrine that it purported, for, as it has been suggested, it was perfectly "possible to reject the letter of Pelagianism but still be seduced unawares by its spirit".
The handling of the crisis is well known, thanks to the survival of an epistolary exchange between the bishop of Hippo and the superior of the community of Hadrumetum (Epp.

 L'histoire de Sousse
Founded in the 9th century BC by the Phoenicians, Hadrumetum became the third Punic City after Carthage and Utica.
Joining against Carthage during the last Punic War, it benefited for over three and a half centuries from its position as a free town, awarded by Rome as a reward.
Like Carthage under the Romans, Hadrumetum was destroyed by the Vandals in the 5th century and then rebuilt by the Byzantine emperor Justinian from the 1st to the 6th century.

 Clodius Albinus
According to a very suspicious source, the Historia Augusta, he was born in Hadrumetum in Africa.
This is probably confirmed by a coin with the legend saeculum frugiferum (something like 'fertile era'), frugifera being the title of the colonia Hadrumetum.
The Historia Augusta also states that Clodius Albinus was a member of a very noble family, which may perhaps also be true, because at a later stage, he received some support from the Senate, which, as a rule, was greatly impressed by ancient families.

 Battle of Zama   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
In 202 BC, Hannibal learned that Publius Cornelius Scipio was devastating the area around Zama and left his base in Hadrumetum to confront him.
Carthage was heavily dependent on the fertile grain production of the area and had no choice but meet the threat, despite Hannibal's recently recruited and poorly trained army.
He hoped that his activities in the important area near Zama would draw Hannibal away from his defensive works at Hadrumetum and Carthage.

 Semi-Pelagianism - Theopedia
Whereas Pelagius was condemned for being too positive in his views concerning human nature, Augustine was said by some to be too negative.
Vitalis of Carthage and a community of monks at Hadrumetum, Africa (about 427 A.D.), contested some of Augustine's principles, asserting that they destroyed freedom of the will and all moral responsibility.
The issue became heated in the fifth century when some monks in southern Gaul, led by John Cassian, joined in the controversy.
