AD NOVAS
(Suiar des Beni Aros) Morocco.
A station of the
Antonine Itinerary (24.3), S of Tingi
on the Roman road going to Volubilis. It is very likely
in the valley of the Kharroub, which is strewn with
ancient settlements. The most probable location is Suiar
des Beni Aros where ruins of a small settlement have
been found, dating from pre-Roman times and destroyed
in the middle of the 3d c. A.D., and ruins of a later
castellum.
