Overview

Dinámicas históricas, religiosas e iconográficas en el norte de África constitutes the third volume of the series Estudios sobre el África Romana, derived from a fruitful collaboration between the Complutense University of Madrid, the Université de la Manouba and the Institute National du Patrimoine de Tunis. This new publication brings together a varied collection of scientific works that focus their attention on cultural phenomena and historical issues concerning North Africa as a whole, with special interest in Africa Proconsularis. Therefore, other chronologies -and even other related geographies- are not disregarded, starting from prehistory, passing through the Punic and Hellenistic Greco-Roman world, sliding to the Late Antiquity and the pre-eminence of the Arab-Muslim culture, ending up in the contemporary perceptions and stereotypes that European colonialism generated on the autochthonous, and some allochthonous, African cultures. The diversity of themes and methodological approaches are indicators of the multidisciplinary orientation that brings together the group of Spanish-Tunisian collaborators. Therefore, the reader will be able to follow the rhythm of the camel caravans through their cave representations; to contemplate the funerary images preferred by the elites, reflected in stelae, sarcophagi and mosaics of Punic and Roman Africa; or to enter into the rituality that surrounded the syncretic religion of the crocodile gods and the Lord of the Oasis, in the Egypt of the Caesars.
