September 24, 1896 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on the works of author M. Gaston Boissier. His work on "Roman Africa" is a great work of literature. Boissier's method is quite different. When the Romans established themselves in Africa, they had chiefly to deal with their old enemies, the Carthaginians, just as the French, in the first period of their conquest, saw only Arabs everywhere. But in reality the Carthaginians were but a small part of the population of Africa, they lived in the great cities, in the seaports.
