Abstract
This paper focuses on the so-called Roman-African temples, an architectural typology well represented in Africa Proconsularis moreover during 2nd and 3th century A.D. Despite they have been considered for long time as a form of “resistance” to Roman penetration in Africa, recently some Authors have noted that this interpretation is based on a cultural prejudice. In the following pages some cases of study are illustrated with particular attention to the pre-Roman phases (when presents), in order to point out the relationship between the earlier structures of worship and the construction of Roman temples
