Description - Rulers, Nomads and Christians in Roman North Africa by Brent D. Shaw

A collection of 10 essays on three areas of North Africa in the Roman Empire. They examine the history of political institutions, followed by details of interaction between sedentry communities in the African provinces. It concludes with two studies on African Christianity. The essays are grouped under three general headings that reflect different aspects of the same problem: the mutation of African political and administrative institutions; the interaction between nomads and sedentarists in the process of the extension of Roman rule over the semi-arid and arid lands of the Maghrib; and the complex dynamic of cultural changes and continuities in the power conflicts that marked the Christianization of North Africa.
