The Roman province of Africa was one of richest in the Empire and as a result has some of the most spectacular remains. The Cities of Roman Africa examines the development of urban space and cultural life in this province from the beginnings of Roman rule in the second century BC to the fall of the province of Africa to the Vandals in AD 439.

The author also explores the persistence of pre-Roman cultures, and how these factors affected the evolution of the cities, intellectual life and even entertainment under the Republic and Empire.
