Algeria is a large country, rich in visual remains of its long and complex history. The monuments of the Roman period are particularly impressive. This is partly because they are well-preserved, but also because the French, who colonized the region in the nineteenth century and ruled it until 1962, carried out extensive excavations and restorations. Algeria is not yet in the grip of the mass tourism which is engulfing better known destinations; now is therefore the time to explore its beautiful landscapes and rich cultural heritage. The Roman sites rank among the most impressive anywhere in the Mediterranean and represent an important aspect of the nation’s past. This guidebook will take you to all the sites, with an historical introduction, a detailed gazetteer of the principal museums and Roman sites and lavish provision of maps, plans and photographs.

The French invaded Algeria in 1830, and found a landscape rich in Roman remains, which they proceeded to re-use to support the constructions such as fortresses, barracks and hospitals needed to fight the natives (who continued to object to their presence), and to house the various colonisation projects with which they intended to solidify their hold on the country, and to make it both modern and profitable. Arabs and Berbers had occasionally made use of the ruins, but it was still a Roman and Early Christian landscape when the French arrived. In the space of two generations, this was destroyed, just as were many ancient remains in France, in part because “real” architecture was Greek, not Roman.

"The historiography on Ancient North Africa is massive and still predominantly in French, though scholarship and archaeological research published in Italian, Spanish, English, German, and Arabic has increased notably since the 1970s. The main challenge facing those who wish to work in the field comes from the association of its historiography with French and Italian colonialism and its legacy. Having conquered and annexed Algeria in the mid-nineteenth century, the French authorities were deeply concerned with the long-term success of their colonial mission, which they saw as continuing in the footsteps of Rome in Africa. One avenue to this end was considerable investment in the discovery and analysis of the process-dubbed Romanisation--by which the Roman state was believed to have imposed its imperial culture and civilization on the polities, peoples, and landscape of the region. The history and archaeology of North Africa had seemingly much to lend to this program: among others a legacy not dissimilar to that of Roman Gaul and the importance of its Christian past through the great African fathers of the Church, Cyprian and Augustine. There was likewise an implicit concern, very much suited to the age of European imperialism and empire in the Middle East and North Africa, for succeeding where the Romans had obviously failed with the Arab conquest of the seventh century AD. This was especially important in Algeria. Napoleon III wanted an "Arab Kingdom" in his empire but following his defeat in the Franco-Prussian War and the advent of the French Republic Algeria became a French department. Henceforward the Arab identity of Algeria was to be denied and the Roman past was to be deployed to justify the negation of Algeria's history after the Arab conquest. The impact of this is still evident in the ambivalence felt by contemporary Algerian scholars and archaeologists of Antiquity towards the Roman period in North Africa. The establishment of the French protectorates in Tunisia (1881) and Morocco (1912), on the other hand, did not negate the official personality of either country, where the Bey of Tunis and the King of Morocco, a descendent of the prophet, remained in power. The Tunisians absorbed the Numidian, Carthaginian and Roman past, as did the Moroccans. Italy's entry into Libya (1911) were founded on the same premises. Italy's entry into Libya (1911) can be traced back to the Congress of Berlin in 1878 when Italy sought imperial possessions in North Africa alongside Britain and France. Italy's power in Libya remained tenuous until the execution of the rebel Omar Mukhtar 1931, after which the country was fully integrated into Italy as its "fourth shore." Libya's Roman past became central to the maintenance of Italian colonial power in the process"--

A new study that challenges previous interpretations of post-Roman North Africa. North Africa was one of the richest parts of the Roman Empire, the agricultural powerhouse of the Mediterranean. It was also home to some of the emperor’s biggest imperial estates, and prosperous cities of all kinds. Its loss to the Vandals in the first half of the 5th century AD was the mortal blow which both precipitated the fall of the western empire, and set the eastern empire back for decades. Its reconquest then became an obsession with each new emperor in Constantinople. Time and again the eastern Romans failed in this goal, until Justinian I finally succeeded in the AD 530s. Although North Africa’s restoration to the world of Rome only lasted a short time, it has widely been regarded as a positive development. However, new research—published here for the first time—shows that post-Roman North Africa thrived under the Vandals. To them it was Vandal heaven, a place where they found a way as the new incumbent elite to live comfortably alongside the late Roman inhabitants, despite their different interpretations of Christianity. Together, the two cultures flourished. When the eastern Romans – now styled Byzantines – returned, they weren’t welcome. This is evidenced in the surviving built environments of this new period of North African history, namely chains of small forts along the frontier and interior, where the Byzantines used mounted troops to keep an unhappy local population under control. Dr Elliott not only presents a brand-new interpretation of post-Roman North Africa, but makes the case that the Arab Conquest was so successful in this region because the Byzantine overlords were so unpopular. Furthermore his argument explains how the region today came to be part of the Arab world, in contrast to the regions along the northern Mediterranean freeboard, which maintain their Roman-ness to this day.
