Introduction
Résumé
The Maghreb and the Iberian Peninsula benefit from a rich common past favoured by their close geographical, geological and climatic proximity. However, our knowledge of the traffic and networks between the two extreme coastlines of the western Mediterranean still remains unequal depending on the territories covered. Two regions have been particularly well studied for relations with Spain: Tunisia and Morocco. But, what about Algeria? What was the relationship between the territories of the central Maghreb and the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula from the Hellenistic period to the end of the Middle Ages? This book tries to provide answers to these questions using historical and archaeological sources. The pages of this volume seek to define the construction of networks and their evolution in this concrete space of the Mediterranean over a long period of time, as envisaged for the "Cercle du Détroit". The geographical framework, which mainly concerns the coastline, which is more densely populated, is defined on the basis of the navigation routes between the two shores described by ancient authors. It intentionally crosses the boundaries of Roman provincial division and medieval kingdoms.
