| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By analysing the inscriptions about imperial cults, this project aims to show the development of a Roman self-image among the inhabitants of Ancient North Africa.
The imperial cult was introduced to Carthage by a (perhaps foreign) freedman during the reign of Augustus. It came to be managed by a municipal priest by the time of Claudius. Many scholars have emphasised the establishment of a provincial imperial cult in the age of Vespasianus, which shows an inscription from an inland city. However, this inscription was engraved in the age of Commodus; thus, it is necessary to pay more attention to the period of Commodus, by when North African people had already begun to view themselves as ‘Romans’.
