More about the book
About the book
From 1987 to 1990, in collaboration with several Danish research institutes, the Tunisian Institut National de Patrimoine carried out an extensive archaeological survey in the valley known as the Segermes basin, in Tunisia. The results of that work are contained in three volumes entitled Africa Proconsularis. This volume reviews the information and looks at the historical conclusions.
