Zama Regia
Zama Regia was an ancient town in north-western Tunisia, a royal residence of the Numidian kings, generally placed at the site of Jama near Siliana. It gave its name to the Battle of Zama of 202 BCE, fought somewhere in the region. In 46 BCE it shut its gates on King Juba I after his defeat at Thapsus, and it later became a Roman colony.
