RUSPI´NUM
RUSPI´NUM (
Ῥουσπῖνον,
Strab. xvii. p.831; Ruspina, Auct. B. Afr. 6;
Plin. Nat. 5.3; Peut. Tab.), a town of Africa Proper, where Caesar defeated Scipio, and which he afterwards made his position while waiting for reinforcements.
It is probably the
[p. 2.860]same place as the
THERMAE of the Coast-describer (
Stadiasm. § 114, ed. Müller), near the ruins of Leptis Parva.
