Cillium

Cillium was a Roman town in the province of Byzacena, at the site of modern Kasserine in west-central Tunisia, still known for its triumphal arch and mausoleums. In 544 the Byzantine general Solomon was defeated and killed near it by Berber forces led by Antalas and his allies, a blow to Byzantine rule in Africa.
