Cohors Breucorum
Cohors Breucorum was an important Roman castrum located in western Mauretania Caesariensis.History
The castrum was created under Septimius Severus emperor in the third century. It served as a Roman station and fort on a new military road called "Nova Praetentura", that was created in order to expand to the south the Roman controlled territories in western Mauretania and connect this region to Volubilis
The name was given because it was under the control of the Cohors of the "Breuci", a tribe from ancient Illyria, stationed there. With the Arab invasion in the seventh century the "vicus" disappeared.
