Based on decades of research in North Africa, David Mattingly’s book is an innovative account of the history and archaeology of ancient North Africa (roughly equivalent to Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya) from the first century BCE to the third century CE.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In \u003ci\u003eBetween Sahara and Sea: Africa in the Roman Empire\u003c\/i\u003e, David Mattingly charts a new path toward a bottom-up understanding of North African archaeology. This cleverly constructed, innovative book addresses key themes in the archaeology of ancient North Africa, roughly equivalent to Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, from the first century BCE to the third century CE. The author focuses not on “Roman Africa,” but rather the way that areas participated in the empire centered on Rome. Mattingly articulates this new vision of Africa through the perspective of “discrepant identity,” a theoretical approach that enables him to examine variation in the extent of identification with the imperial project.”\u003cbr\u003e —David Stone, University of Michigan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Tables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface and Acknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote on the Transliteration of Names and Spelling of Toponyms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart 1.
