Capsa (Roman colonia)

Capsa was a Roman colonia located in the south of modern-day Tunisia. Before Roman times Capsa was a center of the Capsian culture.

The Roman colonia was very important under the Roman emperors and reached 100,000 inhabitants at the end of the second century.

After Roman centuries it was a center of the last Christian and romance speaking people in North Africa. The corresponding modern city is Gafsa.
