Between Sahara and sea Africa in the Roman Empire Mattingly, D. J. creator author. text bibliography History miu 2023 2023 monographic eng print xxiv, 717 pages : illustrations, maps ; 27 cm. "Between Sahara and the Sea: Africa in the Roman Empire challenges orthodox views of the story of Africa under Roman domination. It presents a new framework for understanding this and other territories incorporated in the Roman Empire. Based on decades of research in North Africa, David Mattingly's book is a cleverly constructed and innovative account of the history and archaeology of ancient North Africa, with a main focus on the first century BCE to the third century CE. He charts a new path toward a bottom-up understanding of North African archaeology, exploring in turn the differing material culture and experiences of the Roman communities of the military and the urban and rural areas. This important book is the most comprehensive in English on Roman North Africa. It is remarkably rich, with up-to-date references and a host of new ideas and perspectives. Well written and illustrated, with a plethora of maps, it will be required reading for anyone interested in the subject. Rather than emphasising the role of external actors, as studies of 'Roman Africa' have traditionally done, Between Sahara and the Sea focuses on local contributions to the making of Africa in the Roman Empire."--front flap. 1.
