29. CIL 8.5351 - ILA1g 285; ILAlg 3992. T. Flavius Macer, who was a
citizen of Calama and a native of Ammaedara, was appointed as prefect
of the Musulames under Trajan. For other African prefects, see CIL 8.
10500 s ILS 1409; CIL 8.9195.
30. Leveau 1973,180-81. The same pattern of development applied to the
praefecti civitatis (see note 28, above). The tribes were initially
attached to a serving army officer, CIL 3.14387; ILS 2737,2684.
31. Lepelley 1974,285-95; Kotula 1965,347-65 (on the native principes).
32. Leveau 1973,182-90.
33. It is difficult to see how else the procurators of the Mauretanian
provinces and the legate of Numidia, could have maintained peace with
so few troops. For an incomplete inscription from Mauretania Caesarien-
sis recording a meeting between the procurator, a centurion and a third
party (possible as indigenuous chieftain ) see Baghli and Fevrier
1968,13-15.
34. See above, Chapter 3: 2, notes 45-58. Frezouls 1980 is a useful
summary of the evidence, though some aspects of his interpretation can
be questioned.
35. Rachet 1970, especially 231-64.
36. As proposed by Romanelli 1962,211-14.
37. Canartha was described on one of the altars (Frezouls 1957, no. 4- AE
1957,203) as principe constituto, implying Roman intervention in the
election procedures. Regarding technical aid and subsidies the best
comparative evidence comes from other parts of the Roman empire. The
Iberian kingdom received aid in constructing fortifications in the
Darial pass, Mitford 1980,1192-194; ILS 8795 - Mitford 1972, no. 124;
subsidy payments were widely used on Rhine and Danube (see 5: 1, note 59)
and in Britain (Dio LXXV, 5,4). Coin finds from the Atlas and Sahara
may be as easily explained as evidence of subsidies as of trade, Mauny
1956,249-60.
38. ILAf 610 - Frezouls 1957, no. 11, mentions the long-held peace,
ob diutina(m) pace(m) servat(a(m) cum] Iulio Nuffusi, et nunc conloquio
habito cum Iul(io) Mirzi fratre eiiusdem Nuffusis reg(is) Baquatium.

49. St. Augustine, Letter 199,12: Sunt enim apud nos, hoc est in Africa,
barbares innumerabiles gentes, in quibus nondum esse praedicatum
evangelicum; ex his qui
dicuntur inde captivi et Romanorum servitis iam
miscentur, -cotidie nobis addiscere in promptu est. Pauci tarnen anni
sunt ex quo quidam eorum rarissimi atque paucissimi qui pacati Romanis
finibus adhaerant, ita ut non habeant reges suos, sed super eos
praefecti a Romano constituantar imperio et illi ipsi eorum praefecti
Christiani esse coeperunt.
