It was situated on the west coast, at the southern end of the Gulf of Oristano, at the present-day ''località'' of Santa Maria di Nabui, in the ''comune'' of Guspini, Province of South Sardinia.

Pliny calls it one of the most important towns in Sardinia; and its name is found also in Ptolemy and the Itineraries. (Plin. iii. 7. s. 13; Ptol. iii. 3. § 2; Itin. Ant. ''l. c.''; Tab. Peut.; Geogr. Rav. v. 26.) Its ruins are still visible at the mouth of the river Pabillonis, where forms the estuary or lagoon, Stagno di Marceddi, and present many remains of ancient buildings as well as the vestiges of a Roman road and aqueduct.
