Abstract
After a brief introduction on the developments of Latin literature in Roman Africa and the
problem of Africitas , this chapter traces a synthetic picture of Latin literature in Africa
under the Vandalic domination (fifth-sixth century), in its relations with political and cultural history. The
progress of Latin literature in Africa under the Vandals is examined with particular attention to
auctores and their works. Among the most significant writers are Dracontius, Fulgentius,
Corippus and the poets of the Antologia Latina (especially Luxorius).
