The article on Algeria has an extensive history section, but Rome has practically been erased.

Algeria - Wikipedia (links right to Classical period)

QUOTE(Wikipedia)
After Masinissa's death in 148 BC, the Berber kingdoms were divided and reunited several times. Massinissa's line survived until 24 AD, when the remaining Berber territory was annexed to the Roman Empire for 2 centuries.


They also say Rome defeated Carthage a bit earlier.

I'm no expert on Algerian history but I'm pretty sure it was an important part of the Roman Empire for some 500 or so years. Might want to mention Vandals and Byzantines too. There's probably also some early Christian history of interest there.

Some stuff is in the sub-articles, but the main article is really weak on this time period.

At least that's amusing.
