Follow up on this question.
Other than the name being similar to the English one, why would one assume that אפריקי in the Gemara has anything to do with Africa? The names are similar, but is there any other reason?
Example of what I mean, is there anywhere (a Torah commentary, the Gemara itself, etc.) that discusses the place as having animals, features, or the like that make it Africa in particular?
