Conservation du site Archeologique de Volubilis

Volubilis is a partly excavated Berber-Roman city in Morocco near Meknes, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Settled since the 3rd century BC, it flourished under Mauretanian King Juba II as a centre of Hellenistic culture before Roman annexation around AD 44, when it became the chief inland city of Mauretania Tingitana. At its peak in the late 2nd century, the city housed some 20,000 inhabitants across 40 hectares. Major ruins include a forum, basilica, the Arch of Caracalla (AD 217), thermal baths, and well-preserved mosaic floors. The Roman garrison withdrew around AD 285, and the site later briefly served as capital of the Idrisid dynasty.
