[iii] 144 & 56pp. New. * The coast of Tunisia was settled in the tenth century BC by Phoenicians. In the 6th century. BC, Carthage rose to power, but it was conquered by Rome (2d century BC), and the region became one of the granaries of Rome. It was held by Vandals in the 5th Century and by Byzantines in the 6th century. In the 7th century it was conquered by Arabs. The region became known as Ifriqiya and the Berber population was converted to Islam. Successive Muslim dynasties ruled, interrupted by Berber rebellions. The reigns of the Aghlabids (9th cent.) and of the Zirids (from 972), Berber followers of the Fatimids, were especially prosperous.

The city was a terminus of important trans-Saharan caravan routes. Captured in 1510 by the Spanish, Tripoli was granted (1528) to the Knights of St. John, who held it until 1551, when it was taken by the Ottoman Turks.
