Rusazus[1] was a Phoenician, Carthaginian, and Roman town located near Cape Corbelin, Algeria.
[1] It was hellenized as Rhousazoûs (Ancient Greek: Ῥουσαζοῦς)[3] and Latinized variously as Rusazus,[4] Rusazu,[5] Rusazis,[6] Ruseius,[7] and Rusadum.
[8] As to which "Strong One" might have been meant, Lipiński offers that Azeffoun's name itself might be a Berber memory of a Punic toponym honoring Baal Zephon,[2] who was reckoned a patron of maritime trade.
In late antiquity, it was part of the Vandal Kingdom prior to the Byzantine reconquest of Africa.
The site includes a necropolis and the ruins of baths, temples, and Roman-era embankments.
