Question
These people accompanied Maternus’s expedition to a mysterious region called Agisymba. These people’s main exports were “carbuncles” or “Nasamonian stones” thought to have been carnelian and amazonite. In the 1st century CE, these people’s misadventures in the lands to their north include their secret backing of Tacfarinas’s revolt and their intervention in Oea’s war with a neighboring city. These people extracted “fossil water” from hamada plateaus with shaft-aerated channels that resemble Persian qanats and are now known as (*) foggara. According to Herodotus, these people tended backwards-grazing cattle and used four-horse chariots to hunt Troglodytes. After defeating these agriculturalists based in wadis of the Fezzan region, Lucius Balbus’s expedition proceeded south as far as the Niger River. For 10 points, name this ancient civilization of southern Libya. ■END■
