9 V 2024: Tomasz Waliszewski (UW), Contemporary approaches to the study of the Roman city: a multi-disciplinary dialogue around processes of urbanisation and Romanisation in Mustis (Africa)

The degree of urbanisation of Roman Africa astounds us with each new piece of information about the study of yet another urban centre, of which there were some two hundred in Proconsular Africa alone. At the same time, each new generation of scholars seeks answers to similar questions, using ever different tools. The example of the research carried out by the team from the University of Warsaw and the Institut National du Patrimoine in Mustis in modern Tunisia provides an opportunity to sustain a dialogue between different scientific disciplines. It allows for a better understanding of the various aspects of the social and economic phenomena occurring at the cultural interface in post-Punic and Numidian Africa.
