Nearly three thousand years ago the Phoenicians set up trading colonies on the coast of North Africa, & ever since successive civilizations have been imposed on the local inhabitants, largely from outside. Carthaginians, Romans, vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, TUrks, French & Italians have all occupied the region in their time. The Romans governed this part of Africa for six hundred cities, twelve thousand miles of roads & hundreds of aquaducts, some fifty miles long. The remains of many of these structures can be seen today. At the height of its prosperity, during the second & third centuries AD, the area was the granary of Rome, & produced more olive oil than Italy itself. The broadening horizons of the Roman Empire provided scope for the particular talents of a number of Africa`s sons: the writers Terence & Apuleius; the first African Roman Emperor Septimius Severus, famous Christian theologians like Tertulllian & Saint Augustine
- these are just some who rose to meet the challenges of their age.
