1 There is even some suggestion that it may have briefly served as the capital of the new province of Africa Nova (Dio 48.21.3).

2 Some Roman pagi in Africa, for example, actively sought to remain independent of their associated native communities. See Maurin, L., “Pagus Mercurialis Veteranorum Medelitanorum. Implantations vétérans dans la vallée de l'oued Miliane. Le dossier épigraphique,” MEFRA 1995, esp. 117–25Google Scholar.

3 See Rives, J. B., Religion and authority in Roman Carthage from Augustus to Constantine (Oxford 1995)Google Scholar, for an excellent discussion of the relationship between the pagus and civitas at Thugga.

4 Although it remains unclear from the survey conducted by De Vos how rural settlement and agriculture was organized in the pre-Roman period, there can be little doubt that Thugga was a town already made wealthy by the production of its countryside.
