Abstract:

Glimpses of social change in some postmodernist Afrikaans novelsPostmodernist novels, and thus also Afrikaans postmodernist novels, are radically anti-traditional. In one respect, however, they maintain the tradition of Afrikaans fiction: they open perspectives on the development of the society from which they originate. Functioning in a multicultural community, the novelists' awareness often concerns the development of relations between different racial groupings in the South African society, which is seen as basically African. The breaking down of the (colonial) barriers between black and white by writers of historiographic metafiction - like John Miles and André Letoit - can perhaps be regarded the first step in the direction of social transition. Letoit hails Africa as the continent of promise, and authors like Berta Smit, Eben Venter and Etienne van Heerden present visions of a growing harmony between black and white in the new South Africa.

Abstract:

AbstractDuring his four decades of rule, Genseric appears to many Africans – Catholic and pro-Roman – as the incarnation of the Antichrist. For the African municipal aristocracy he represented the image of a greedy barbarian obsessed with power, the persecutor and the gravedigger ofRomanitas. If we look closely, Genseric had learned from the Romans how to manage strength and diplomacy, for negotiating with the Romans in particular. He sought to perpetuate his conquests by organising treaties with Ravenna and Constantinople, which did not prevent him from launching parallel plundering campaigns in Africa and along the coast that brought him respect and financial gain. First king of the vandals, he managed to create the first barbaric state on the territory of the empire. He was the type of leader who can be considered a visionary, bringing to fulfilment the material, political and spiritual conquests of a new era, theSpätantike.

Abstract:

Summary. The purpose of the study is to analyze and explain the policy of Septimius Severus in Africa. The research methodology is based on the principle of objectivity as well as on a scientific principle. The research is based on general scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, induction-deduction) and special historical methods. The scientific novelty is that for the first time in the Ukrainian historiography the article supports and substantiates the thesis about the expedition of 203 AD, the topic, which is not very popular in classical studies. The conclusions are as follows. During his reign Roman advancement in Africa became extensive. The main regions of Roman expansion were Numidia, Mauritania and Tripolitania. Septimius Severus personally did not take part in African campaigns. The African campaign was led by the legate of the Legio III Augusta – Quintus Anicius Faustus. The Romans carried out large-scale frontier fortification works. Frontier policy in the region was similar to that in Arabia. These measures helped Rome to control trade and emigration in the region. Roman possessions in Africa reached their maximum during the time of Septimius Severus. An analysis of the sources pointing to a possible expedition of Septimius Severus to Africa in 203 AD suggests that there is no direct indication to this event. Therefore, it is likely that the Roman emperor was only preparing for a trip that was later canceled for unknown reasons.

Abstract:

The Romans identified East Africa as Azania. The Chinese as Zezan. The metropolis of Rhapta was indicated to be the capital of Azania. In recent times a controversy emerged as to the location of Azania and Rhapta. A discussion has also occurred regarding the kind of people who settled in Azania. Whereas some scholars agree that the core of Azania was in East Africa modern, the geographical extent of Azania is in question. Archaeological, historical, and linguistic data have been used to suggest Azania extended from the coast of East Africa to the Great Lakes region, central Africa and South Africa. It is also argued that the people of Azania were Bantu speakers who were farming and smelting iron. It is therefore justifiable for the people of the larger region of South Africa to East Africa to name themselves Azanians.

Abstract:

The history of literacy in the Maghreb (Arabic, “west”) spans several millennia. Strategically located in the Northwest of Africa and on the Southern shores of the Mediterranean, the Maghreb has been a crossroads where several civilizations mingled and interacted: The Greeks, the Phonecians, the Romans, the Arabs, and more recently the Turks and the Western Europeans have all affected, to varying degrees, the history, culture, language, and literacy of the region (Al-khatib-Boujibar 1984).

Abstract:

Africa is a European invention. When the Romans finally defeated Carthage, they turned the place into a province and called it Africa. Originally this referred only to a small part of Tunisia and Algeria, but it later became the name of the entire continent. The same happened to Asia, another province of the Roman Empire, in what is now called the Near East. The names of the two other continents demonstrate even more obviously their European origins: America was named after an Italian traveller – and not even Columbus! – and the term Australia comes from the fact that European voyagers who had some vague idea about the existence of this continent but knew nothing about it, called it ‘The Unknown Southland’, Terra australis incognita.

Abstract:

Abstract Rome engaged in military and diplomatic expansionistic state behavior, which we now describe as ‘imperialism,’ since well before the appearance of ancient sources describing this activity. Over the course of at least 800 years, the Romans established and maintained a Mediterranean-wide empire from Spain to Syria (and sometimes farther east) and from the North Sea to North Africa. How and why they did this is a source of perennial scholarly controversy. Earlier debates over whether Rome was an aggressive or defensive imperial state have progressed to theoretically informed discussions of the extent to which system-level or discursive pressures shaped the Roman Empire. Roman imperialism studies now encompass such ancillary subfields as Roman frontier studies and Romanization.

Abstract:

The classic notions of antiquity had very imperfect notions of international justice. With the Greeks and Romans, ‘foreigners’ and ‘Barbarians’ or ‘enemy’ were synonymous in language and in fact. By their rude theory of public law, the persons of alien were doomed to slavery (…) piracy was unblushingly practised by the most civilized states which then existed (…) Grecian philosophers gravely assert that they (barbarians or foreigners) were intended by nature to be the slaves of the Greeks.1 ‘Colonialism’ has been the first gift of science to the non-European world. Developments in natural science through inventions set the pace for industrial revolution in Europe. The industrial revolution, further, set the sail for discovering new markets, resources and raw materials. An attempt to find markets and materials exposed the fragile Asian and African states to the imperial designs of colonisers, hidden in the garb of civilisers and merchants. The marriage of ‘mercantilism’ and ‘civilisationalism’ on the Asian and African soil fertilised by advances in science gave birth to colonialism. This ‘couple’ conceived many a time and brought forth ‘cultural’ and ‘military’ subjugation, servility, racism and interference into the sovereignty and society of the unexcavated soil of Asia and Africa. This family soon spread in the world what we now know as ‘the Empire’.

Abstract:

Ancient Rome was the capital of an empire of ~70 million inhabitants, but little is known about the genetics of ancient Romans. Here we present 127 genomes from 29 archaeological sites in and around Rome, spanning the past 12,000 years. We observe two major prehistoric ancestry transitions: one with the introduction of farming and another prior to the Iron Age. By the founding of Rome, the genetic composition of the region approximated that of modern Mediterranean populations. During the Imperial period, Rome’s population received net immigration from the Near East, followed by an increase in genetic contributions from Europe. These ancestry shifts mirrored the geopolitical affiliations of Rome and were accompanied by marked interindividual diversity, reflecting gene flow from across the Mediterranean, Europe, and North Africa.

Abstract:

Il est question dans cette recherche de lire les contributions de l’interlangue dans les romans de l’Afrique francophone subsaharienne. Cette notion linguistique et sociolinguistique voit sa première orientation de recherche avec Sélinker (1972). Chercheur américain attaché aux aspects linguistiques et psycholinguistiques de l’apprentissage d’une langue étrangère par les adultes avec l’élaboration du terme « interlanguage » (traduit interlangue en français) pour rendre compte des connaissances intermédiaires de l’apprenant en langue étrangère. Pour cet auteur tout comme pour d’autres chercheurs qui ont orienté les recherches sur la notion, l’interlangue est une « compétence transitoire » (Coder, 1967), « une « langue approximative » (Nemser, 1971) caractérisée par une véritable instabilité d’autant plus que les règles grammaticales de l’interlangue ne correspondent pas aux règles retrouvées dans la langue maternelle de l’apprenant ni celles observées dans la langue cible : en général, l’interlangue n’est pas destiné à évoluer vers une meilleure pratique de la langue.Or, l’observation de l’interlangue dans les textes des romanciers de l’Afrique subsaharienne d’expression française remet en cause cette définition des premiers chercheurs : dans les textes, l’nterlangue fait accroître le lexique du vocabulaire, elle réutilise les structures syntaxiques pour innover la syntaxe, en plus de cela, elle diversifie les figures de styles pour embellir la stylistique existante. Le rajeunissement lexical est visible à travers l’introduction des emprunts, alternances codiques, calques et néologies. Au niveau syntaxique, l'on y observe un emploi inhabituel des outils syntaxiques comme par exemple la détermination, les pronoms, la ponctuation et une insistance des traits morphosyntaxes. A ces structures s'ajoutent les maximes et les proverbes présentant de fait la stylistique comme un élément textuel diversifié.La sociocritique de Zima est l'approche autour de laquelle nous tenons ces informations. Elle se présente ici comme une perspective qui cerne le mieux la socialité du texte littéraire. Elle ouvre la voie à l'analyse de l'interlangue qu'elle a su identifier dans les oeuvres. Grâce à elle, l'on découvre que ce concept fait appel à la cohabitation culturelle des peuples aux microscopes différents. Il suscite la diversité des cultures et évoque le multilinguisme et l'interculturalité, deux poumons importants pour définir la Francophonie institutionnelle, linguistique et littéraire. Les principes auxquelles prône la notion de l'interlangue peuvent restructurer la relation France/Afrique
This research seeks to read the contributions of interlanguage in the novels of Francophone sub-Saharan Africa. This linguistic and sociolinguistic notion sees its first research orientation with Selinker (1972). American researcher attached to the linguistic and psycholinguistic aspects of the learning of a foreign language by adults with the elaboration of the term "interlanguage" to account for the intermediate knowledge of the learner in a foreign language. For this author, as for other researchers who have oriented research on the notion, the interlanguage is a "transitional skill" (Coder, 1967), an "approximate language" (Nemser, 1971) characterized by real instability Especially since the grammatical rules of the interlanguage do not correspond to the rules found in the mother tongue of the learner or those observed in the target language: in general, the interlanguage is not intended to evolve towards a better Practice of the language.However, the observation of interlanguage in the texts of novelists in French-speaking sub-Saharan Africa calls into question this definition of the first researchers: in the texts, the interlanguage increases the lexicon of vocabulary, reuses structures Syntactics to innovate the syntax, in addition to that, it diversifies the figures of styles to embellish the existing stylistics. The lexical rejuvenation is visible through the introduction of borrowings, codical alternations, layers and neologies. At the syntactic level, there is an unusual use of syntactic tools as well as determination, pronouns, punctuation and insistence of morphosyntax features. To these structures are added the maxims and proverbs presenting in fact stylistics as a diversified textual element.The sociocritic of Zima is the approach around which we hold this information. It presents itself here as a perspective that best identifies the sociality of the literary text. It opens the way to the analysis of the interlanguage which it has identified in works. Thanks to it, it is discovered that this concept calls for the cultural coexistence of peoples with different microscopes. It raises the diversity of cultures and evokes multilingualism and interculturality, two important lungs to define the institutional, linguistic and literary Francophonie. The principles advocated by the notion of interlanguage can restructure the France / Africa relationship

Abstract:

L’étude de l’hybridité culturelle en littérature est restée liée à la théorie qui définit les littératures postcoloniales en termes d’opposition avec l’Occident. Dans cette étude, nous avons tenté de porter un regard différent, en allant au-delà du « writing back to the center ». Nous ne négligeons pas les différentes positions révélées par la critique mais nous avons choisi, à travers cette approche comparative, de montrer que l’Afrique est un acteur à part entière d’une littérature universelle. En s’appropriant les techniques littéraires de Thomas Hardy et Joseph Conrad, les écrivains africains confirment la porosité des cultures et la communication entre des peuples d’horizons divers. En comparant le clan écossais et la tribu africaine, nous avons trouvé plusieurs similitudes en termes d’organisation sociale et de mode de vie. Comme Scott et Hardy, Ngugi et Achebe tirent la substance de leurs romans du folklore et des traditions populaires de leurs communautés. Les romanciers africains et victoriens ont une claire conscience du malaise de l’individu et montrent combien le destin peut être cruel envers lui
The study of cultural hybridity in literature remained tied to a theory which defines postcolonial literatures in terms of their oppositional relationship with the West. In this thesis, we attempted to go beyond the “writing back to the center”. We have not ignored the debate over standard criticism but we have chosen to demonstrate by means of this comparative study that the African novel is part of a larger fictional universe. By appropriating the techniques of the Victorian literary tradition associated with Thomas Hardy and Joseph Conrad, African writers create a useful device for developing greater understanding and improved communication among people from different cultural, racial and ethnic groups. We found striking similarities between the Scottish clan and the African tribe in terms of social organisation and way of life. Like Scott and Hardy, Ngugi and Achebe draw the substance of their novels from the folklore and popular traditions of their communities. African and Victorian novelists have a clear awareness of the human predicament and show how fate can be cruel to the individual

Abstract:

Bibliography: leaves 59-62.
Literature is an important source of cultural knowledge for young readers. It helps shape their perceptions of reality and teaches them what to expect from the world and the people around them. Therefore, it is important to do a communicative analysis of the literature that is prescribed for schools, in order to determine how identities are ascribed and negotiated, and how this can bear on intergroup and interpersonal relations. The conclusions can then serve to guide the selection of new books and the teaching of existing selections. In this study, the eleven novels that were prescribed in 2000 for Afrikaans First Language in Grade 12 in the nine provinces of South Africa are analysed thematically with respect to ethnicity, gender, and religion. Theories of Intercultural Communication are used to examine these thematic analyses. I conclude that the lists were indeed compiled for the purpose of transformation, and that ethnicity in particular gets awarded prominent treatment. The voices that are heard, however, belong overwhelmingly to one group, so that theirs is central to all reality, and the reality of others is seen only in relation to their reality. More or less the same applies to the aspects of gender and religion. There is also little awareness of gender issues, and gender roles are stereotypical.

Notre étude qui reste résolument tournée vers les littératures francophones a pour titre : Afrique réelle et Afrique rêvée dans les romans francophones subsahariens contemporains. L’exemple de : "Balbala", "Aux Etats-Unis d’Afrique" de Waberi (A.A.) et "Le Baobab fou" et "La Pièce d’or" de Ken Bugul. Le tout de cette recherche consiste à observer le processus de reconfiguration de l’Afrique dans les œuvres susmentionnées. Il ne s’agit pas simplement d’analyser l’Afrique réelle, rêvée ou ambivalente. Il s’agit plus difficilement d’observer les procédés textuels par lesquels, le passage d’une Afrique réelle à une Afrique rêvée s’opère et, comment ce va et vient d’un univers à un autre débouche sur un troisième espace qui peut être perçu comme l’Afrique alternative dont aspire en réalité nos auteurs. De plus ces œuvres deviennent de véritables lieux d’une problématisation allant de la mise en évidence des travers de la société à la proposition des solutions préemptives sur le fonctionnement du continent. Pour mener cette étude nous avons utilisé une double méthodologie dont la poétique textuelle de Gérard Genette et la sémiotique interprétative revisitée par Louis Hébert. De ces analyses nous retenons que, dans ces œuvres les auteurs expriment une Afrique alternative. Ils la traduisent telle qu’elle est mais aussi telle qu’ils voudraient qu’elle soit. Mais cette vision du monde n’est-elle pas une simple utopie qui relève de l’ordre de l’inatteignable ?
Our study which is focused on the French literature is titled: Real Africa and Africa dreamt in contemporary Sub-Saharan novels. The example of: “Balbala" and "Aux Etats-Unis d'Afrique" written by Waberi (A.A.); "Le Baobab fou" and "La Pièce d'or" written by Ken Bugul. The importance of this research consists in observing the process of Africa's reconfiguration in the works mentioned above. It is not only about analyzing the real, dreamt, or ambivalent Africa, it is about observing textual methods for which the passage from a real Africa to a dreamt Africa is possible and, how this back and forth of a universe that is lead in a third space can be perceived as alternative Africa that the authors of these texts aspire. Furthermore, these texts become the diagnostic tools of the failings of the society and equally help to provide preemptive solutions on the operation of the continent. To conduct this study, we used a double methodology such as the textual poetic of Gerard Genette and the interpretative semiotic revisited by Louis Hebert. At the end of ours analyses we keep in mind that in these texts the authors express an alternative Africa. They present it as she is, and also the way they would like it to be. But such vision of the world isn't it a simple utopia which falls under the unattainable ?

Abstract:

Les littératures d’Afrique et des Caraïbes des années soixante-dix à quatre-vingt-dix comptent une série de romans ayant pour thème de prédilection la politique. Certains critiques y voient l’émergence d’un genre romanesque baptisée « nouveau roman ». D’autres en soulignent la confluence thématique dans des travaux se rapportant au roman dit « politique » ou « anti-utopiste ». Jusque-ici, il semble que la réception de cette forme d’écriture et son thème favori n’ont pas été mis en étroite corrélation avec le contexte historique particulier dans lequel ils s’inscrivent. Or, ce dernier est déterminant dans le cadre d’une meilleure connaissance de ces textes encore en quête de définition. En effet, les années soixante-dix à quatre-vingt-dix correspondent à la période des dictatures d’Afrique et des Caraïbes. Ce constat nous a amené à envisager une nouvelle réception de cette tendance romanesque sur un modèle universel : le « roman politique », pour ne retenir que ce concept. Pour l’expérimentation de cette hypothèse de recherche, dans le cadre d’une démarche comparatiste, le choix a été de confronter les « constantes » et les « variantes » de ces littératures à la lumière d’un corpus de six ouvrages. Ainsi, la représentation de la dictature a permis de découvrir un univers conflictuel clos institué par une pratique et une pensée politiques inédites. Le jeu des acteurs y est une tragédie dans un espace labyrinthique. Le tableau dévoile des individus désarmés et sous la domination d’un système à l’allure de monstre. L’image du « cercle de feu » illustre bien cette tragédie à grande échelle où toute tentative d’évasion rapproche l’homme de la mort. Un style d’écriture métonymique y entretient l’errance des personnages qui, sans cesse, butent contre les murs infranchissables de la dictature. Le discours littéraire n’y est pas qu’une plaidoirie en faveur de l’homme et de la liberté ; il y est également une dénonciation de la condition de l’écrivain et de l’asservissement de la littérature
The literatures of Africa and the Caribs of the seventies in ninety count a series of novels having for theme of preference the politics. Certain critics see there the emergence of a romantic kind baptized "new novel ". Others underline the thematic confluence in works relating to the said novel "politics" or "anti-utopian". Up to now, it seems that the reception of this shape of writing did not put in narrow correlation its favourite theme with the particular historic context, which unites them. Now, this last one is determining within the framework of a better knowledge of these texts still in search of definition. Indeed, the seventies in ninety correspond to the period of the dictatorships of Africa and the Caribbean islands. This report brought to us to envisage a new reception of this romantic tendency on a universal model: the "political novel ", to retain only this concept. For the experiment of this hypothesis of search, within the framework of a comparative approach, the choice was to confront "constants" and "variants" of these literatures in the light of a corpus of six works. Therefore, the representation of the dictatorship allowed discovering a closed conflicting universe established by one new political practice and a thought. The set of the actors is there a tragedy in a space, which looks like a labyrinth. The board reveals moved individuals and dominated by a system to the speed of monster. The image of the "circle of fire" the illustrious property a large-scale tragedy where any escape attempt moves closer to the man of the death. A style of metonymical writing maintains the wandering of the characters there who, ceaselessly, stumble over the unbridgeable walls of the dictatorship. The literary speech is not there that a plea in favour of the man and of the freedom; it is there a termination of the condition of the writer and the subjection of the literature

Abstract:

This study attempts to evaluate the social implications of economic changes that occurred in Roman North Africa between the fall of Carthage in 146 BC and the arrival of the Vandals in the mid-5th century AD. Several authors have argued that Africa experienced significant economic growth during this period. Some have even argued that this increase in economic activity resulted in the lower orders being substantially better off by late Antiquity than they had been previously. Here, as well as assembling much quantitative information, I examine the qualitative elements which characterised this specific period of expansion in economic activity, manifested most clearly in the increasing exportation of African ceramics to Rome in the late 2nd century AD and the intensification of agricultural production visible in the remains of farms specialising in the production of olive oil and wine. I repudiate the use of certain modern economic concepts such as “GDP”, “per capita income”, and “consumer behaviour”, which I see as reflecting the neoliberalisation of the study of the Roman economy. In their place, I attempt to substitute an approach that examines the changing structure of ancient North African society in its particular historical context. Substantial use is made of archaeological data, as well as literary and epigraphic sources, to try to piece together this structure. A primary conclusion is that, from the point of the Roman conquest onward, high levels of inequality existed between Africa’s various social classes. Whilst the landscape of North Africa changed hugely during the course of the Roman period, privileged elites were able, at all times, to secure a high degree of personal wealth at the expense of an exploited mass of peasants and agricultural labourers. The structural inequalities between classes that existed in the aftermath of the conquest, although qualitatively altered, still existed nearly six centuries later, in spite of considerable economic growth having occurred.

Abstract:

L'objet de notre these est l'etude de six textes romanesques africains a la lumiere de la philosophie existentielle. Notre point de depart est que les six textes en question - l'aventure ambigue, la plaie, chaine, l'ecart, un piege sans finet le regard du roi- en raison de leurs preoc- cupations essentiellement metaphysiques ou existentielles, apportent des apercus nouveaux sur la realite humaine et histo- rique africaine. De ce fait, ils se pretent a une reflexion philosophique suceptible de jeter une lumiere nouvelle sur les problemes humains qu'ils explorent. Consequement, pour mieux saisir et elucider les pro- blemes en question, nous nous sommes servi des outils theori- ques et methodologiques de la critique philosophique issue de la pensee existentielle. L'essence de cette critique etant l'union entre l'analyse litteraire et la reflexion philoso- phique, notre travail s'est effectue en deux phases. La premiere phase, qui correspond a ce qu'on appelle "une phenomenologie litteraire", vise a mettre en lumiere les structures generales de chaque texte ainsi que le mouvement et les themes existentiels qu'elles incarnent. La deuxieme phase qui correspond a la deuxieme et a la troi- sieme parties, reprend les themes degages dans la premiere partie pour les soumettre a une analyse philosophique visant a les expliciter. Finalement, comme nous considerons chaque texte comme un point de vue de l'auteur sur la realite afri- caine dont il est issu, notre travail se termine par une eva- luation critique de la pensee africaine de chacun des six au- teurs. Grace a notre approche, nous croyons avoir apporte un point de vue nouveau sur ces grandes oeuvres africaines et surtout sur les problemes humains qu'elles soulevent
The object of our dissertation has been a study of some african novels in the light of european existential philosophy. Our point of departure was that de six novels in question - l'aventure ambigue, la plaie, chaine, l'ecart, un piege sans fin, and le regard du roi - apprehend human reality in africa from an essentially metaphysical or existen- tial view point. To this effect, they lend themselves to a fruitful philosophical analysis capable of shedding new light on the human or metaphysical problems they explore. Existential philosophy together with its various models of analysis served as the theoretical and methodological frame- work of our study. As the essence of philosophical criticism of literary texts should be the union of literary analysis with philosophical reflexion, our study has been divided into two phases. The first phase is concerned with a phenomenological stu- dy of the forms and structures of the novels aimed at uncovering the existential mouvements and themes of which the said forms and structures are the embodiments. The second phase takes up the themes and mouvements so uncovered in order to submit them to a tho- rough and systematic philosophical analysis. Thus in keeping with an existential approach, in the first instance the adventure of the hero of each novel is viewed and analysed as the dialectics of the individual's freedom as it comes to grips with various si- tuations. In the second instance, other human and historical pro- blems raised by some of these texts are submitted to a sypnotic philosophical scrutiny. Finally, as each of these novels is infor- med by a certain point of view of its author on african human and historical reality, our study ends with a critical evaluation of each author's african thoughts as portrayed in his nove

Abstract:

This chapter explores Africa, the province that Augustus never visited, and how its historical associations, as well as natural resources, empowered Augustus’ contemporaries. In the civil wars of the 40s, Africa emerged as a major base of resistance, first to Julius Caesar, then to the triumvirs. Memories of the Punic Wars, in which Africa and Italy dueled for control of the Mediterranean world, were reawakened and informed the actions of commanders. A legacy of the civil wars was the opening up of new opportunities for Romans in Africa. Governors, including T. Statilius Taurus and L. Cornelius Balbus, used it to elevate their profiles. Vergil added to the mystique of Africa, making it a uniquely dangerous rival to (Roman) Italy and closely associated with Rome’s imperial destiny. Late in Augustus’ principate, Africa supplied senators with wealth, unique chances for military honors, and opportunities to initiate their sons in traditional martial culture.

Abstract:

From Medieval Islamic Wall to Bastioned Land Front: Genesis and evolution of the Land Front of CeutaCeuta is built on a peninsula at the southern shore of the Strait of Gibraltar. It’s a strategic point for communications between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean and between two continents: Europe and Africa. As Ceuta ships rule the Gibraltar Strait in Medieval and Modern Ages, main defensive efforts were tuned of to Land Front. Consequently, in 950 ‘Abd al-Rahman III built a new fence in order to protect the madina reusing Roman and Byzantine fortifications. Although repaired and enlarged by Almohads, Marinids, and Portuguese, these walls and towers protected the Land Front of Ceuta until the sixteenth century. But, at this moment, pirobalistic artillery development had made this defensive device obsolete and a new bastioned front, an early and outstanding example of the new Renaissance ideas for the defense of the cities, was built. Archival documents, cartographic sources, etc., let us follow the main lines of this evolution. Recently, an archaeological research project has added new data on how this evolution, from Medieval to Renaissance fortifications, took place.
