Beschreibung
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is with great pleasure that I offer to the reading public the authorised English translation of Gaston Boissier's L'Afrique Romaine.<br><br>Monsieur Boissier needs no introduction to an English or American public. Those who have read his previous books are already familiar with the simplicity and clearness of the style, the picturesque descriptions of places and the vivid presentation of events which characterise Boissier's work, and have realised also that this work is based on a foundation of thorough scholarly knowledge.<br><br>The present volume deals with that part of Africa which came under the direct domination of Rome. The author transports the reader to Carthage, whence, at will, he may wander across the great stretch of surrounding country, visit the smaller cities and towns, and study, in the light of their past history, their inhabitants, their customs, their language and literature, their mode of living, their government, and the ruins of their ancient monuments, many of which are still standing.<br><br>I have followed for the spelling of the proper names the forms given by Heinrich Kiepert, Ph. D., in his Manual of Ancient Geography.
