The excavation in the park of Villa Belmonte (Monte Pellegrino, Palermo) has brought to light several warehouses, made with a “pseudo-frame” technique, probably with a straw roof, used for the storage of foodstuffs, given the large quantity of Punic-type amphorae found in situ, datable to around the middle of the third century BC. In addition, a section of road - about 3 m wide that proceeds in the direction of WNW- ESE, consisting of two layers of use - has been intercepted. We believe to have tracked down part of a strategic/military station used by the Carthaginian army during the crucial years of the First Punic War.

The recent discovery of a new inscription at Aunobari confirms the widespread dedication of statues in honor of Constantine by the African communities, especially after the victory over Maxentius; some titulature differences with an almost identical text from Musti are also analyzed. The autopsy of two other inscriptions from the same area published in 1895-1907 permits to add a photographic documentation, a description of the current preservation state as well as some new assumptions about reuse, function and provenance.

The epigraphical evidence of Moesia Inferior suggests the presence of several Africans during the I-III centuries A.D.: they are mostly soldiers and military officers, but after the middle of second century A.D., with an increase in the Severan age, the Africans play a leading role in provincial administration.

Epigraphic record relating to the organization of the spoliation sites in late antiquity has so far been documented exclusively in Rome and Asia Minor. The data here provided by some unpublished inscriptions from the theater of Thignica (now Ain Tounga, Tunisia) open new opportunities of investigation about this phenomenon in the North African territory, where reuse for the construction of churches and fortifications has been very common. At Thignica recycling was linked mainly to the building of the Byzantine fort. Here an arch inserted in the tower of the south-eastern corner offers another evidence of an organized dismantling of the monuments in the Roman municipium, followed by the reuse of their parts.

Water abduction was one of ancient world's most crucial problems, especially in a challenging environment such as Africa Proconsularis . Building on A. Wilson's seminal paper ( Water supply in Ancient Carthage , 1998) and taking into account the archeological finds of the last two decades, the paper examines Carthage's systems of water abduction, storage and consumption in their diachronic evolution from the Punic to the Roman periods, place them in their urban landscapes and try to understand them in light of their peculiar Wasserkulturen.

In a recent article it is proposed that an ornithomorphic askos, probably depicting a duck, found in the tophet of Carthage and datable not after the seventh century BC, instead depicts a quail or a rooster on the basis of Greek influences arrived in the Punic world during the Hellenistic era. The Mycenaean, Cypriot, Near-Eastern and Phoenician ornithomorphic askoi found between the second half of the second millennium and the first half of the first millennium BC seem instead to represent mainly ducks.

From the area of the Roman fort of Bravoniacum near the modern village of Kirkby Thore, in the English county of Cumbria, come few extremely fragmented Latin inscriptions and some funerary reliefs. Their data, crossed with a Numidian epigraph and with some other historical sources, allows outlining the garrison that occupied the fort in the first part of the third century AD. Groups of African knights recruited on an ethnic basis were placed in the province at the beginning of the 3rd century AD and maintained there as fast deploying troops deputed to the contrast of tribal uprisings in the hilly territories of the newly established province of Britannia Inferior, and probably to support military operations north of Hadrian's Wall as well. The circumstantial evidence reviewed in this work suggests that since the time of Septimius Severus's British campaigns between AD 208 and 211, a division of Numidian auxiliary light cavalry garrisoned the fort of Bravoniacum , constituting the first African community on the island.
