Introduction to Algerian history

Berbers have lived in Algeria since 10,000 BC at the latest. After 1000 BC, the Carthaginians began to establish colonies on the coast. The Berbers occupied Carthage through the Punic War, among which Numidia is most famous for producing elite cavalry. In 200 BC, Berbers were ruled by ancient Rome. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Berbers became independent in many areas, while Vandals were in charge of other areas until they were expelled by Byzantine emperor Justinian I.
