Abstract

The territory of the three cities (Lipda, Sabratha, and
Oya) was of strategic importance to the Romans, which made
them plan to romanticize it by dissolving its
administrative systems that prevailed before they came to
occupy the region.
And put in place the Roman administrative systems that
prevailed in Rome, where they worked since the beginning of
the Roman conquest by changing the borders of Roman Africa,
which was known as ancient Africa, and annexing it with New
Africa and became known as Provincia Africa Proconsularisi,
the consular state of Africa in the year 27 BC. And given
the importance of the territory of the three cities to them
at the beginning of their occupation of it, they did not
change its Carthaginian administrative systems because they
were similar to the systems followed in Rome, but with the
beginning of The second century AD, the Romans began to
change the administrative systems in the region after its
cities gained advantages by raising them to the level of
Roman colonies in the middle of the second century BC.
An attempt by them to paint it with the pure Roman
character, but the villages and tribes adjacent to the
cities continued to maintain their rural system, which
relied on their elders, and the Romans followed a policy of
leniency with them for fear of danger threatening them, and
the region continued to enjoy prosperity and peace until
the second century
