Tolmeta

Tolmeta

This page should be deleted. I introduced it but then found that the town is already present in Wikipedia, under its Greek name of Ptolemais. I don't know how to delete a page.

Tolmeta (Tolmetha) was a Roman town on the coast of what is today north-eastern Libya. It was located roughly half-way along the coast between Bernice (modern Benghazi) and Cyrene. [cite book |title=A Short History of North Africa|date=1961|author= Jane Soames Nickerson] .
