Gaetuli

Common card · No. 415771

Gaetuli was the Romanised name of an ancient Berber people inhabiting Getulia. The latter district covered the large desert region south of the Atlas Mountains, bordering the Sahara. Other documents place Gaetulia in pre-Roman times along the Mediterranean coasts of what is now Algeria and Tunisia, and north of the Atlas. During the Roman period, according to Pliny the Elder, the Autololes Gaetuli established themselves south of the province of Mauretania Tingitana, in modern-day Morocco. They inhabited the southern slopes of the Aures and Atlas Mountains and probably reached as far as the Atlantic coast. The name of the Godala is hypothesized to be derived from the word Gaetuli.
