How Far did Rome Go? Romans in Sub-Saharan Africa (Roman Iceberg Part 7)

Welcome to the 7th part of the ancient Roman iceberg! If you haven’t seen the other parts I would definitely recommend you go check those out first as they really give a solid introduction into Roman history! Rome and its people are some of the most studied aspects of history in the entire world. Men like Julius Caesar and Augustus, along with events like the Fall of Rome and the Punic Wars, are aspects of history that many people learn about early on in their lives. And yet, underneath all of the most showy and most well-known aspects of Roman history exists a deep and storied history that many people either know nothing about or have skipped over in favor of the more flashy aspects of Roman history. That is why I decided to create the Roman History Iceberg. 10 Tiers of various deep and not so deep cuts of Roman history filled to the brim with important people, events, places, and theories in Roman history all made with the goal of introducing all of you to some pieces of history that I feel are missed out on. So what is in the iceberg? How much of the iceberg do you know? And will I keep my sanity as I dive ever deeper into Roman history? Let’s talk about it.
