Gaetuli
Gaetuli was the Romanised name of an ancient Berber tribe inhabiting Getulia, covering the large desert region south of the Atlas Mountains, bordering the Sahara. Other sources place Getulia in pre-Roman times along the Mediterranean coasts of what is now Algeria and Tunisia, and north of the Atlas. The Zenatas are considered Gaetules.
==Region==
Getulia was the name given to an ancient district in North Africa, which in the usage of Roman writers comprised the nomadic tribes of the southern slopes of Mount Aures and the Atlas, as far as the Atlantic, and the oases in the northern part of the Sahara. The Gaetulian people were among the oldest inhabitants of Northern Africa.〔The Journal of the Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, vol. 1 (1872), pp. xl-lxi〕 They mainly occupied the area of modern-day Algeria as far north as Gigthis in the southwestern region of Tunisia.〔Pliny the Elder: Natural History〕 They were bordered by the Garamantes people to the right and were under the coastal Libyes people.〔Strabo: Geography Book II Chapter V〕〔The American Journal of Philology, vol 122, no 2 (summer, 2001), pp. 179-200〕 The coastal region of Mauritania was above them and, although they shared many similar characteristics, were distinct from the Mauri people that inhabited it.〔Pliny: The Natural History〕 The Gaetulians were exposed to the conditions of the harsh African interior near the Sahara and produced skillful hardened warriors.〔The American Journal of Philology, vol 122, no 2 (summer, 2001), pp. 179-200〕 They were known for horse rearing, and according to Strabo had 100,000 foals in a single year. They were clad in skins, lived on meat and milk, and the only manufacture connected with their name is that of the purple dye that became famous from the time of Augustus, and was made from the purple shellfish Murex brandaris found on the coast, apparently both in the Syrtes and on the Atlantic.
