This period, rife with environmental adversities and faltering economies, witnessed a significant upsurge in North African maritime raids launched from the Ottoman-governed provinces of Tripoli, Tunis, and Algiers. I argue that this noticeable increase was not a reaction to the events in Europe but a consequential response to the acute environmental and socio-economic pressures of the time.</p> Environmental history International history Middle Eastern and North African history Maritime History Ottoman Empire Corsairs Tunis Tripoli Algiers
2	The two Mauretaniae : their romanization and the imperial cult Gironi, Claudia 11 1900 (has links) The 'Romanization' of the African provinces of Mauretania Tingitana and Mauretania Caesariensis was in fact a two-way process of exchange between Roman and African elements which resulted in a uniquely Romano-African civilization. The imperial cult highlights issues common to all Romanization processes, such as ruler-subject interaction and the role of local initiative in bringing about change, as well as unique issues such as the impact of politics on emperor-worship. The success of the imperial cult was hampered by the fact that only a select few - notably the wealthy local elite - derived direct benefit from the process, and by the fact that, because the pre-Roman Mauretaniae had no established ruler-cults, the imperial cult failed to assimilate with local tradition. As a result, the cult was unable either to make a decisive impact on the Romanization of the Mauretanians, or to achieve any real religious unity among them. / History / M.A. (Ancient History) Romanization Imperial cult North African history Roman empire Mauretania Tingitana Mauretania Caesariensis Mauri Religious syncretism Roman gods Roman priests African religion Ancient 939.71 Mythology, Roman Holy Roman Empire -- History Africa -- Religion Romans -- Africa
