What a mess

[edit]

Numidia and Mauretania were different regions, kingdoms, and provinces. Most of this article is about Caesarea Mauretaniae or Caesarea in Mauretania, which is now Cherchell. Caesarea in Numidia was a completely different place whose ruins are at Henchir-El-Hammam. The article needs to be redivided into separate pages on the separate towns. — LlywelynII 21:37, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Llywelyn: Cherchel (Caesarea Mauretaniae) is the capital of Mauretania Caesariensis but Henchir-El-Hammam it is named Aquae Flauianaeö[1] -- NEHAOUA (talk) 08:27, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have any sources proving that there's another Caesearea in Numidia? As far as I know Caesarea was the name given by King Juba II of Mauretania to Iol, which is now named Cherchell, in modern Algeria.
