Mathematical Romanization of Africa

Argazkia: Almare

A group of interdisciplinary researchers from the Free University of Berlin and the Zuse Institute have developed a complex mathematical model to better understand how Romanization spread in North Africa.

According to a study published in the journal Plos One, the model has been developed on the basis of data on remains of Roman roads, and has focused on the romanization of the province of Proconsular Africa, the current Tunisia.

The dissemination of these infrastructures aims to analyze the influence that the Romans had on cultural, social, military and economic aspects. The nuances suggest that Romanization in North Africa spread "like an epidemic."
