Abstract

Using the example of Rome and the Maghreb, this volume examines corresponding and contrasting modes of the appropriation of material remains of Classical Antiquity. As the two regions moved in different directions politically and culturally, societies construed Classical Antiquity as either their own or an alien past. Pragmatic recourse led to structural similarities in organization, logistics and governance.
