Berber Auxilia

History
For most of the Dark Ages, North Africa continued to remain a major recruitment ground for the Romans, even as the military pressure being built up by the Arabs with the rise of Islam continued to increase, until it finally broke through into Egypt and overwhelmed the coast of the Mediterranean, ending European dominion of North Africa once and for all. In spite of the changes brought on by the Vandals in the 5th century and the Arabs from the 7th till 10th centuries CE, the Berber tribes of North Africa continued to maintain their traditions — especially so after the collapse of Roman rule and the ephemeral Roman restoration following Belisarius' campaign there. They too maintained their traditions as light infantry and cavalry, and were often recruited by the Romans, Arabs and Vandas as much as they vigorously resisted them.
