What are the correct terms for northern Africa and Italy in classical antiquity?
For sample, France was known as Gaul, Spain was known as Hispania, and the east was Parthia/Persia. So roughly around 500 AD, was there a definitive term for the Italian peninsula, and/or Northern Africa (specifically Carthage)?
Italy had the same name back then, whereas N. Africa except Egypt was called Libya
Northern Africa was once referred to as Libya (other than Egypt) and possibly Appenine for Italy
I consider your time period is a little late for what you are looking for. By 500 AD the Western Roman Empire had been destroyed, and Carthage was an occasion more distant in memory.
In 500 AD Carthage was part of the Kingdom of the Vandals (Named for the Germanic tribe that conquered much of North Africa and the Mediterranean from the Roman Empire)
In 500 AD the Italian Peninsula was part of a interminable Kingdom of the Ostrogoth's (The Germanic tribe that had finished off the Western Roman Empire and conquered Rome)
So I don't over 500 AD, with Germanic domination of the western half of Europe, is the period you are looking for :P
From a Roman point of believe, once Carthage was defeated in 146 BC, the Romans established a province they named Africa.(This name applied ONLY to Carthage and the circumjacent Carthaginian territory, not the other roughly 98% of the modern continent of Africa) The name is of Phoenician origin 'afar' and means "Dust". The Carthaginians were Phoenician in fountain-head after all.(Carthage means "New Town" in Phoenician, as it was a Phoenician colony)
The Italian Peninsula was known as "Italia". A relating to originally used to refer to only a select part of southern Italy, but was later expanded to cover an increasing corpulent part of modern Italy, and by Roman times, it was expanded to cover the entire Italian Peninsula.
Hope that answers your theme :P
