Zagazania

Ras Ben Gauuad

Zagazania was a crossroads, though the map gives it no symbol: roads come in from Presidio and from Ad Capsum Ultimum and leave for Digdida and for an unnamed stop. Other junctions on the map are drawn the same way, but this one is perhaps the hardest for a reader to make out. The name, too, is difficult to read, with two letters beyond recovery. Ptolemy lists a village Sakamaza here, and the Ravenna list writes Zacasama. The ruins lie on a hill at Ras Ben Gauuad in Libya.
