| Summary: | This book discusses the changing role of peasants in the North African countryside in Late Antiquity and its social implications. The author addresses a variety of aspects, adopting a truly interdisciplinary approach that combines archaeological and textual evidence. This is a beautifully written book, convincing in both its structure and form., The book is presented in three different sections. The first part (the most archaeological) focuses on the reconsideration of data from the numerous archaeological surveys carried out in the North African territory. The analysis focuses principally on reconsidering African red slip (ARS) pottery evidence. The point stressed by the author is the increasingly wide distribution of fine wares. |
