Collo (Template:Langx), known as Chullu in antiquity, is a port town in the Skikda Province in northeastern Algeria, and forms part of the Collo Massif region. It is the capital and one of three municipalities of the Collo District.
Formerly a Phoenician trading post, then a Numidian and Roman port, Collo became under the Hammadids the port of Constantine. Today it is a small seaside town of about 35,000 inhabitants in 2008.
History
In Roman times, Collo was a city in the province of Numidia, called Chullu. At the joint Conference of Carthage (411) that brought together Catholic and Donatist bishops of Roman Africa, Chullu was represented by the Catholic bishop Victor and the Donatist Fidentius.[1][2][3]
In the book Al-Istibsar fi 'agaib al-Amsar, written in the late 12th century, the author wrote about the city:[4]
"An ancient city with many ruins from the early Romans. Located on the seashore, it serves as the port of the city of Constantine. The city is rich in fruits and resources, with an abundance of grapes and remarkable apples. It holds strategic importance, generating significant revenue and oversight. It is both a land and maritime city."
In 1282, king Peter III of Aragon led an expedition to Collo, in proclaimed support of a rebellion against the ruler of Tunis. The rebellion had collapsed before Peter arrived, but he kept his army there for several weeks until, in the wake of the Sicilian Vespers, envoys from Sicily came to Collo to offer him its throne. The resulting war continued until 1301.
