North African resistance to Roman occupation, from Numidia to Mauretania

This research aims to study and analyze the Amazigh resistance against Roman occupation in North Africa through four main pillars, including the resistance of the Numidian kingdoms and Maghreb tribes, and the role of political and military alliances in their confrontation. The research employs an analytical-historical methodology to explore the combat methods and tactics employed by the Amazigh, with a particular focus on guerrilla warfare and ambushes. It also investigates the socio-economic factors driving

these uprisings, such as conflicts over land ownership, pastoral resources, and trade routes.

The research concludes that the resistance was not a series of isolated incidents; rather, it formed a continuous chain of popular and elite revolutions spanning centuries, beginning with Numidian kings like Juba I and leading up to the great Mauretanian revolts led by Aedemon and Salabus. The results demonstrate that the motives for resistance transcended the military dimension to encompass the defense of land, local independence, and resource protection. Finally, the research highlights that the Roman occupation failed to subdue the Maghreb interior except with great difficulty, and that the spirit of resistance played a decisive role in shaping the identity and political consciousness of the region throughout the ages.
