| dc.description.abstract | This project looks at the Garamantian civilization of the Libyan Fezzan in the Central Sahara. This project looks at who the Garamantians are using literary, archaeological, and ethnographic evidence while also examining the challenges that come with using such evidence. This project also examines the trade that the Garamantians engaged in, with a focus on trade from Southern Africa and the Roman empire. This project also looks at the relationship between the Garamantians and the Romans through warfare, trade, and interactions, with a special focus on the Roman city of Lepcis Magna and the ways that Garamantians and other nomadic peoples would have interacted with it. The images used for this project show trade routes throughout the central Sahara, a Tuareg in traditional dress, a camel caravan laden with salt blocks ran by Tuareg, an an ancient olive oil press from Libya. The goal of this project is to understand the Garamantian society and to blur the distinction between nomadic and sedentary peoples. | |
