IGILGILI(Ἰγιλγιλί, Ptol.: Jijeli), a sea-port of Mauretania Caesariensis, on the Sinus Numidicus, made a Roman colony by Augustus. It stands on a headland, on the E. side of which a natural roadstead is formed by a reef of rocks running parallel to the shore; and it was probably in ancient times the emporium of the surrounding country. ( Itin. Ant. p. 18; Plin. Nat. 5.2. s. 1; Ptol. 4.2.11; Ammian. Marc. 29.5; Tab. Peut.;Shaw. Travels, p. 45; Barth, Wanderungen, &c., p. 66.)
