Arabs and Berbers had occasionally made use of the ruins, but it was still a Roman and Early Christian landscape when the French arrived. In the space of two generations, this was destroyed, just as were many ancient remains in France, in part because ?real? architecture was Greek, not Roman. 410 0$aHistory of warfare ;$vVolume 98. 606 $aClassical antiquities$xDestruction and pillage$zAlgeria$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aAlgeria$xAntiquities, Roman 607 $aFrance$xColonies$zAlgeria 607 $aAlgeria$xHistory$y1830-196 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aClassical antiquities$xDestruction and pillage$xHistory 676 $a939/.703 700 $aGreenhalgh$b Michael$0215207 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464067903321 996 $aThe military and colonial destruction of the Roman landscape of North Africa, 1830-1900$91966955 997 $aUNINA
