Topic: Gaetulia


  
 [No title]
GAETULIA, an ancient district in northern Africa, which in the usage of Roman writers comprised the wandering tribes of the southern slopes of Mount Aures and the Atlas, as far as the Atlantic, and the oases in the northern part of the Sahara.
They were always distinguished from the Negro people to the south, and beyond doubt belonged to the same Berber race which formed the basis of the population of Numidia and Mauretania (q.v.).
How far this represents the fact is not clear; but inscriptions prove that Gaetulians served in the auxiliary troops of the empire, and it may be assumed that the country passed within the sphere of Roman influence, though hardly within the pale of Roman civilization.

 Gaetulia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gaetulia is the name of a Roman Province in present-day southern Algeria.
After Mauritania became a Roman province in 40 A.D., the Roman governors made frequent expeditions into the Gaetulian territory to the south, and the official view seems to be expressed by Pliny (v.
30) when he says that all Gaetulia as far as the Niger River and the Ethiopian frontier was reckoned as subject to the Empire.

 Juba II - LoveToKnow 1911
He seems to have received a good education under the care of Augustus who, in 29, after Mark Antony's death, gave him the hand of Cleopatra Selene, daughter of Antony and Cleopatra, and placed him on his father's throne.
In 25, however, he transferred him from Numidia to Mauretania, to which was added a part of Gaetulia (see NuMIDIA).
Juba seems to have reigned in considerable prosperity, though in A.D. 6 the Gaetulians rose in a revolt of sufficient importance to afford the surname Gaetulicus to Cornelius Lentulus Cossus, the Roman general who helped to suppress it.

 APULEIUS OF MADAUROS. Amazigh Philosopher and World Advocate (c. 124 - c. 180 AD)
Nearly two thousand years after Apuleius appeared in front of a Roman pro-consul to defend himself, playing his own "Advocate in Court," as a self- declared and proud "Barbarian," a native son of Numidia and Gaetulia, the extraordinary life of this Numidian emerges anew from scholarly archives where his real identity was ignored (however, cf.
However, the extraordinary message that he left is particularly and most meaningful to a whole group of North African people, Imazighen of today, and the future, as he takes his legitimate place in international consciousness among notable scholars and men of letters of North Africa.
He is to be identified and duly honored as the forerunner of a long line of creative Amazigh sons and daughters of Numidia and Gaetulia, long denied their linguistic rights in North Africa.

 Apuleius
Lucius Apuleius (ca 123/5 CE - ca 180 CE), an utterly Romanized Berber, is remembered most for his bawdy picaresque Latin novel the Metamorphoses, better known as The Golden Ass.
He was born in Madaurus, a Roman colony in Numidia on the border with Gaetulia, now the Algerian town of Mdaourouch, Algeria, a district well away from the Romanized coast, but where some pristine Roman ruins remain.
The same colonia was where Saint Augustine later received part of his early education.

 DECLINE & FALL
An edict was promulgated, which enjoined all persons, without fraud or delay, to deliver their gold, silver, jewels, and valuable furniture or apparel to the royal officers; and the attempt to secrete any part of their patrimony was inexorably punished with death and torture as an act of treason against the state.
The lands of the proconsular province, which formed the immediate district of Carthage, were accurately measured and divided among the barbarians; and the conqueror reserved for his peculiar domain the fertile territory of Byzacium and the adjacent parts of Numidia and Gaetulia.
Rome, Italy, and the provinces of the East, were filled with a crowd of exiles, of fugitives and of ingenuous captives, who solicited the public compassion: and the benevolent epistles of Theodoret still preserve the names and misfortunes of Caelestian and Maria.

But the slave nimbly raised her, for according to the rites someone must catch the suppliant at the moment of his prostration; this told him that the gods accepted him, and Salammbo’s nurse never failed in this pious duty.
Some merchants from Darytian Gaetulia had brought her to Carthage when quite young, and after her enfranchisement she would not forsake her old masters, as was shown by her right ear, which was pierced with a large hole.
A petticoat of many-coloured stripes fitted closely on her hips, and fell to her ankles, where two tin rings clashed together.

In 46 B.C., Gaetulia belonged to the kingdom of JUBA I, but Publius Sittius invaded the region and thus halted the ruler's planned march to join the Pompeian remnants in their battle against Julius Caesar.
Augustus returned the territory to JUBA n in 25 B.C. In 6 A.D., however, the Gaetulians revolted against the king and cried for Roman occupation, and brought war to the neighboring communities.
Cornelius Crassus subdued them, and henceforth Gaetulia was under Rome's control.

They say that I sought my wife in marriage with the help of the fl art and charms drawn from the sea at the very time when they acknowledge me to have been in the midmost mountains of Gaetulia, where, I suppose, Deucalion's deluge has made it possible to find fish!
I am, however, glad that they do not know that I have read Theophrastus' `On beasts that bite and sting' and Nicander `On the bites of wild animals'; otherwise they would have accused me of poisoning as well!

But I am thankful that they don't know I've read Theophrastus' book "On Biting Animals" and Nicander's "Chrestomathy of Animals".

The Siberic, of course, was picked up as they passed through Siberia on their way to North America!
Cyclone Covey noticed that "Micmac-Algonquin writing was Egyptian hieratic" and that the Libyan and Numidian components of the Algonquin tongue was that of "befeathered bowmen of Libya, Numidia, Gaetulia, and Mauretania -- most of them practicing the Egyptian religion of Carthage, whose Vatican was Siwa in the Libyan Desert of extreme West Egypt.
The chief Carthaginian and Phoenician god, Baal Hammon, was Lord Amon, sun-god of Egypt as conceived in Thebes, mother-city of Siwa."
