Contacts Between Rome And Ancient Ethiopia, John Theodore Swanson
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
At the death of Augustus, Rome possessed four principal provinces: in Africa: Numidia, Africa (Tunisia), Cyrenaica, and Egypt. Soon after, Mauretania as:well would become a province, thus creating a sphere of direct Roman control stretching across the top of the African continent. These territories would become Rome's most valuable possessions, economically and culturally; their influence on Roman history, an influence not to be overlooked by historians., would be profound. Yet the narrow strip of land that was Roman Africa represents only a tiny portion of the vast bulk of the African continent, and there were peoples beyond the Roman frontiers …

Who was Jocelyn? Did Lamartine's hero have a human counterpart? The question has tantalized readers ever since the kindly priest first crept into their hearts. The vivid reality of his life suggests the possibility of having dwelt in a world of actualities as well as in a realm of make-believe.
