Resumen de Redes cultuales entre el Mediterráneo y el área norteafricana a través del ejército romano
We aim to examine Roman Africa, specifically the region spanning from ancient Mauritania toArabia, which has received limited attention in academic studies on the Roman army, often focusing more onEurope. However, we believe that analyzing North Africa is crucial for understanding ancient Rome, not onlydue to its involvement in wars against Carthage and the conquest of Egypt, but also because it gave rise to notable figures such as Emperor Septimius Severus and influential authors like Saint Augustine. The movementsof the legions within this border area were closely tied to military campaigns for territorial control duringthe Principate, leading to a cultural and religious exchange. This resulted in syncretism of divinities and theproliferation of votive altars, as evidenced by a significant epigraphic corpus that showcases the military andcivilian presence in and from Africa.
