From 1987 to 1990, in collaboration with several Danish research
institutes, the Tunisian Institut National de Patrimonie carried
out an extensive archaeological survey in the valley known as the
Segermes basis, in Tunisia. The results of that work are contained
in three volumes entitled Africa Proconsularis. This volume reviews
the information and looks at the historical conclusions. The
objective of this encyclopedia work is to reveal the economic
mechanisms and social relations between a town and its environs in
antiquity. It begins with an exploration of the pioneering work of
area around Segermes. Information from later archaeological
expeditions is included.
What was the relationship between city and country in the Roman
Empire? The writings which have been preserved show an enormous
empire, divided into "cells", each with a city at its centre. But
the written sources are few, and focus mainly on the cities of
Italy; they do not tell what life was like in the Roman provinces.
Through systematic studies of the ancient landscape in Northern
Tunisia, archaeologists have reconstructed the day-to-day history
and economic activity of the rural population around the city of
Segermes. Over 100 persons have been involved in this joint
Danish-Tunisian project. The findings presented in these two
volumes indicate that in Roman times, the valley was given over to
intensive cultivation of wheat and olives, maintained at a high
output level by means of extensive irrigation works. The population
was dense and, surprisingly, reached its peak between 350 and 550
AD, a period of economic decline elsewhere in the Roman Empire.
