It was during this period that domesticated plants and animals were introduced in the region, spreading from the north and east to the southwest. There has been an inferred connection between areas of rapid drying and the introduction of livestock in which the natural (orbital) aridification was amplified by the spread of shrubs and open land due to grazing. Nevertheless, changes in northern Africa's ecology after 3500 BCE provided the backdrop for the formation of dynastic civilizations and the construction of monumental architecture such as the

The issue of regaining North Africa became paramount to the Western Empire, but was frustrated by Vandal victories. The focus of Roman energy had to be on the emerging threat of the 325: 1589: 1039: 174: 4685: 2086: 192: 147: 4659: 4620: 1969: 1816: 259: 121: 82: 4672: 2024: 134: 4646: 4633: 1921: 1871: 241: 108: 95: 294: 277: 306: 205: 782: 1272:
