formerly the city of Utica, famous for the retreat and death of Cato, lies about seven miles inland from Porto Farina in the bay of Tunis. Nothing remains of its ancient grandeur except part of a large aqueduct, some cisterns, and other magnificent ruins, which cover a large extent of ground, and show it to have been a very considerable place. The sea, it is known, came up anciently to this city, though now seven miles distant.
