Quiza Xenitana
Quiza, which Pliny the Elder called Quiza Xenitana,〔This is sometimes mistakenly written ''Quiza Cenitana''〕 was a minor city or colony in Roman Africa, located in the late Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis.
==History==
Probably a small berber village with Phoenician roots, Quiza grew under the Roman empire: it is recorded that emperor Hadrian built in this city an arch around 120 AD.
William Smith identified Quiza with Giza near Oran, Algeria.〔(Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (1854) )〕 More recent investigations have identified it with present-day El-Benian on the coast road between Mostaga and Dara.〔(Marietta Horster, ''Bauinschriften römischer Kaiser'' (Franz Steiner Verlag 2001 ISBN 978-3-51507951-8), p. 434 )〕〔(Wolfram Letzner, ''Lucius Cornelius Sulla'' (LIT Verlag 2000 ISBN 978-3-82585041-8), p. 45 )〕〔(Herbert Cancick et al. (editors), ''Brill's New Pauly'' (Brill 2006 ISBN 978-9-00412272-7), p. cxcv )〕
In his ''Natural History'', 4.2.3., Pliny the Elder: writes: "Next to this is Quiza Xenitana, a town founded by strangers"; a remark explained because the word ''Xenitana'' is derived from Greek ξένος, "a stranger",〔(John Bostock, H.T. Riley (editors), ''The Natural History of Pliny'' (Henry G. Bohn, 1855) vol. 1, p. 385 )〕 as explained also by Victor Vitensis.〔(Thierry Ruinart (editor), ''Historia persecutionis Vandalicae'' (1699), p. 344 )〕 The town is mentioned also by Pliny elsewhere (5.2), by Ptolemy, and by Pomponius Mela.〔
