Livy tells us its name in book 25, it’s Emporia. So sad SJ was to busy making up false history instead of answering the question correctly.

 

Livy in book 29 25 mentions that before departing for Africa Scipio gave the pilots of the fleet “instructions to make for Emporia.” At book 29 25 Scipio moved fleet to Utica. At book 29 29 Scipio captured “fairly opulent city in immediate neighborhood (of Utica?).

 

You cannot presume the opulent city was Emporia as there is no evidence. If it was Emporia, then why wasn’t it named?
