Abstract

The papers of the 4 'Empire, Power, and Identity in Roman, Vandal, Byzantine, and Islamic North Africa' sessions will deal with imperial (Roman, Byzantine, and Arab) rule and its traces in North Africa, Roman, and non-Roman identities as well as archaeological aspects of a long neglected part of the mediterranean. For nearly a millennium North Africa was part of the Roman west and its afterlife in the Early Middle Ages.
