Africa Proconsularis was a Roman province in north Africa established 146 BC following the defeat of Carthage in the Third Punic War.
It was one of the wealthiest provinces in the western part of the empire, second only to Italia.
The region remained a part of the Roman Empire until the Germanic migrations of the 5th century. The Vandals crossed into North Africa from Spain in 429 and overran the area by 439 and founded their own kingdom, including Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia and the Balearics.
This region includes Zeugitana, Byzacium, and Syrtica.
