The Roman military remains in North Africa are remarkable in their variety and preservation. They include towers and forts, stretches of defensive lines of stone and earth with ditches broken by gates, and roads, sitting amidst amazing scenery. Readers of this book will enjoy learning more about North Africa’s remarkable Roman inheri
Prises ensemble, les frontieres de l’Empire romain constituent le monument le plus important qui nous reste de ce qui fut l’un des plus grands Etats du monde. Elles s’etendent sur environ 7.500 km a travers une vingtaine de pays ceinturant la mer Mediterranee. Depuis plusieurs siecles, les vestiges de ces frontieres ont fait l’objet d’etudes par des curieux puis plus tardivement par des archeologues. Bon nombre des inscriptions, sculptures, armes, poteries et autres objets crees et utilises par les militaires et les civils qui peuplaient ces frontieres sont visibles dans les musees. Mais les vestiges physiques de ses frontieres sont tout aussi evocateurs de la puissance que fut Rome. La presente series d’opuscules est concue non seulement pour informer le visiteur curieux de l’histoire des frontieres mais egalement pour servir de guide sur le terrain. Les vestiges militaires romains en Afrique du Nord sont remarquables tant par leur diversite que par leur etat de conservation : ils meritent d’etre mieux connus. On y denombre des tours et des forts, des troncons de barrieres defensives faites de pierre et de terre bordees de fosses et interrompues par des portes, ainsi que des routes, traversant des paysages tout a fait distinctifs. J’espere que le lecteur prendra plaisir a en apprendre davantage sur l’etonnant heritage romain en Afrique du Nord.
