page 15 note 6 Not all of the fifteen are explained by recent immigration. Utica had been granted civitas; Thigiba, Uchi Majus, and Vaga were in the region where Marius had distributed lands to soldiers, and we may presume that the presence of these colonists had long attracted Roman migrants to these towns. Simitthu, on the other hand, was an old Punic town that had grown up near the famous Numidian marble quarry. After the fall of Carthage the quarry was little used until Augustan architects began to call for the marble again, and it was doubtless these quarries which attracted enough Romans to make the town predominantly one of citizens. Of the others we know very little.
