Synopsis

In this book, the author examines the development of Roman urban life in the province of Africa, placing particular emphasis on the early founding of Roman cities there. The book begins by tracing the political and military machinations that influenced the region in the decades preceding Roman involvement. The author then goes on to analyze the impact of Julius Caesar’s policies on the development of the province, arguing against the view propagated by Theodor Mommsen and others that Caesar was a proponent of broad enfranchisement and municipal rights for the region’s inhabitants. The work then goes on to address the question of whether or not Augustus, acting in the wake of Caesar’s assassination, carried forward these policies, ultimately concluding that he did not, but instead favored the establishment of traditional forms of Roman administration and the continued rule of the senatorial class. This book will be of great interest to scholars of Roman history, particularly those with an interest in the development of Roman provincial administration. It will also be of some interest to classicists with a focus on the political history of the late Roman Republic.
