Gunugus or Gunugu (Punic: 𐤂𐤍𐤂𐤍‬, gngn)[1] was a Berber and Carthaginian town in northwest Africa in antiquity. It passed into Roman control during the Punic Wars and was the site of a colony of veteran soldiers. It survived the Vandals and Byzantines but was destroyed during the Muslim invasion of the area.
