Hippo Regius (also known as Hippo or Hippone) is the ancient name of the modern city of Annaba, Algeria. It historically served as an important city for the Phoenicians, Berbers, Romans, and Vandals. Hippo was the capital city of the Vandal Kingdom from 435 to 439 AD.[1] until it was shifted to Carthage following the Vandal capture of Carthage (439).
It was the focus of several early Christian councils and home to Augustine of Hippo, a Church Father highly important in Western Christianity.[a]
