Customer Reviews

Very good summary
This presentation covers the Roman occupation of North Africa roughly from the fall of Carthage to the coming of the Vandals (although it refers to the Muslims). The commentary is very clear and many important Archaeological sites are shown in some detail. As a summary of important aspects of the occupation it is very good.

Carthage and Rome
Had finished "The Fall of Carthage". So I was looking for more info. on the battles between these two powers and the aftermath. I was longing for more after viewing this. Hence only three stars.
