Garamantians Spear Infantry

Amazigh Spearmen

The Amazigh, a Berber people, first appear in sources during the rise of the Roman Republic, populating the province of Cyrenaica, with some eventually adopting and propagating Christianity. The Amazigh spent most of antiquity under Roman rule in Cyrenaica, yet fought in a series of struggles, both open and underground, against their overlords for hundreds of years. As the Western Roman Empire collapsed, the Amazigh were thrown into disorder, but an opportunistic one. The shattering of Imperial authority marked the return of the Berbers from the fringes of the Empire, allowing them to resettle as they pleased: there is evidence of Berber kingdoms rising all across the defunct African province.
