This research looks into the public presence of North-Africans in ancient Rome from 146 BCE until 180 CE. For this, I will combine information from primary sources such as administrative documents, literary works and material finds with insights from scholarly literature. The research focuses on the social, economic and legal position of North-Africans in Rome on the one hand and on their experiences of in- and exclusion on the other.
