A wide variety of tombstones appeared at different times and in different places reflecting regional differences: the cipo appeared in Ifriqiya (Tunisia) in the 3rd / 9th century, although they have also been found in Andalusia around Toledo; the maqabriyya was used in Andalusian and Maghrebi cemeteries from the time of the Almoravids; and circular steles were common from the 8th / 14th century in towns with large ceramic industries, such as Malaga, Granada and Murcia.
