I am grateful to John Humphrey for the invitation to submit this paper and to Jairus Baraji, Bruce Hitchner, Nicholas Purcell and Bryan Ward-Perkins who have contributed advice and criticism in its writing. The research reported here has been made possible by my tenure of a British Academy Post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Oxford and my fieldwork has been supported by generous grants from the British Academy and the Cotton Foundation. I am most grateful to Tunisian, Libyan, Spanish and Italian colleagues who have answered queries and assisted in innumerable ways. Naturally I alone must bear responsibility for the views expressed here. The maps are the work of Mrs A. Wilkins.
