De Artibus Romanorum
ROMAN AFRICA
The Roman province of Africa Proconsularis was founded in 146 BC at the conclusion of the Punic Wars. Initially restricted to the area around Carthage, the Roman occupation of northern Africa was extended westwards under the empire and divided into the administrative units of Mauretania (Morocco and Algeria) Numidia (Tunisia) and Tripolitania (Libya). Egypt was a separate geographical entity.
After Italia, Roman Africa was the most important and richest province in the west, producing and exporting olives, grain, and labor.
Unincumbered with conservative building traditions, Africa was the site of daring and extravagant architectural experimentation in second and third centuries. It was also a source of civilised talent: the comic playwright Terence, the emperors Septimius Severus and the three Gordions, Tertullian, Cyprian of Carthage and Saint Augustine, rhetor and later Bishop of Hippo Regius, were all Roman Africans.
Some of the remote outposts on the edges of Mauretania were abandoned or overrun by the Berbers soon after their founding. The Vandals invaded in AD 411 and by 435 they had defeated the Romans. Parts of Africa were, however, under the control of the eastern (Byzantine) empire as late as the 6th century A.D..
