1. At the north-east end of a long ridge. Just beyond there was a small island on which lay the oldest quarter of the city, at least 200 years older than Carthage (cf. Gades, p. 141, n. 1). The Medjerda (Bagradas) has since changed its winding course far to the west, and coming within less than half a mile of the ridge, has brought down alluvial deposits so extensive that the ruins of Utica are now about 7 miles from the nearest coast-line. Cf. Caesar B.C. II. xxiv. 1, 3; Polybius I. lxxv. 5; XV. ii. 8 (his name for the river is Macaras); Strabo XVII. iii. 13 fin.; Pliny N.H. V. 24. Appian Pun. 75 errs as to the distance from Carthage, which was 27 miles ( Itin. Ant. 22).
