	Mauretania - LoveToKnow 1911
		Mauretania Tingitana to the west of the Mulucha and M. Caesariensis to the east of that river, the latter taking its name from the city Caesarea (formerly Iol), which Juba had thus named and adopted as his capital.
		These were mostly military foundations, and served the purpose of securing civilization against the inroads of the natives, who were not in a condition to be used as material for town-life as in Gaul and Spain, but were under the immediate government of the procurators, retaining their own clan organization.
		In 1904 the term Mauretania was revived as an official designation by the French government, and applied to the territory north of the lower Senegal under French protection (see Senegal).

	Moors - LoveToKnow 1911
		They first appear in history at the time of the Jugurthine War (110-106 B.C.), when Mauretania west of the Mulucha was under the government of a king called Bocchus, and appears to have constituted a regular and organized state.
		With the rest of North Africa Mauretania was overrun by the Arabs in the 7th century.
		The subsequent conquest of Spain was effected chiefly by Berber tribes, but the Moslems in the peninsula - known to the Christian nations as Moors - always had a strong strain of Arab blood and in most respects became Arabized.

		Mauretania was also the name of a famous luxury liner, sister ship to the Lusitania of the British Cunard Line.
		The Mauretania featured a new steam turbine engine which helped her to set a number of Blue Riband records, the first on the return leg of that maiden trip.
		In 1938 a second Mauretania was launched; another Cunard ship, this one shared with her predecessor a luxurious style and level of service.

		Administration of Tingitana was easier than in Caesariensis, except that the major cities were most often situated along the coast and the roads reflected this geography.

	Mauretania Caesariensis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Caesariensis was the easternmost of these provinces, mainly in present Algeria, with its capital at Caesaria (hence the name Caesariensis; one of many cities simply named after the imperial cognomen that had become a title), now Cherchell.
		The principal exports from Caesariensis were purple dyes and valuable woods; and the Amazigh or Mauri were highly regarded by the Romans as soldiers, especially light cavalry.
		The Exarchate was in its turn overrun by the Muslim caliphate under the Ummayad dynasty, ending Late Antique Roman culture there; most of former Mauretania Caesariensis became part of the westernmost Islamic province, henceforth called (al-)Maghrib.

	About Volubilis
		However, the king whose presence is most linked to Volubilis was Juba II, son of Juba I. He was brought up in Rome and married to the orphaned princess, Cleopatra Selenus, daughter of Cleopatra and Mark Antony.
		Augustus named him king of Mauretania, and although his capital was at Caesarea (Cherchel in Algeria) his reign, (25 B.C.E. - 23 C.E.) was clearly a flourishing period for the town of Volubilis.
		For reasons still imperfectly understood, the reorganization of Diocletian in 285 C.E. led the Roman army to abandon the southern part of Mauretania Tingitana, including Volubilis.
