The Tingitana included here the western part, especially the area of ​​today's northern Morocco including Ceuta and Melilla. Administrative headquarters was initially located in the domestic Volubilis and later Tingis, today Tangier. In the first half of the 5th century, the province, which exported mainly purple and precious woods, was overrun by the Vandals, but the Roman settlement remained.
