In 40 A.D., the northern region of Morocco was annexed into the Roman Empire. Volubilis, Morocco’s most significant ancient Roman site, earned UNESCO World Heritage status in 1997. Roman presence endured until the 3rd century A.D. Subsequently, in the early 5th century, the region fell under the dominion of the Vandals, of Germanic origin, until the mid-6th century. This period witnessed the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I annihilating the Vandal kingdom, marking a transformative era in the region’s historical continuum.
