LW-07 Mauretania Tingitana

Late Tingitana occupied a contracted official territory compared with the earlier province. Withdrawal from some interior districts did not end settlement there, but it changed the reach of imperial taxation and military support. Northern towns and the strait became increasingly central to the remaining jurisdiction.

Administrative association with Hispania reflected practical maritime communication across the Strait of Gibraltar. The province’s location in Africa did not determine its diocesan allegiance. Later political control varied among ports, enclaves, and inland communities. Eastern Roman holdings such as Septem represented particular strategic positions, not the complete restoration of the former provincial outline.
