Kroumirie

The Kroumirie (also spelled Khroumirie)[a] is a mountainous region located in northwestern Tunisia and northeastern Algeria.

Owing to a relatively high rainfall it is the most well watered region in Tunisia (40 to 60 in [1,000 to 1,500 mm] a year).

[2] In the Roman period, the Kroumirie was crossed by three important roads: that from Carthage to Hippo Regius and those from Simitthu and Vaga to Thabraca (Tabarka).

The Kroumirie is completely unmentioned in written sources from the Middle Ages.

Only in more modern times did it earn a reputation as a place of resistance against the forces of governments both Tunisian and foreign.
