The Roman period PART 2

In the 3rd century, Christian evangelisation of Rome’s African provinces began. It seems that many Berbers embraced the new religion as there were numerous bishoprics, including four in Morocco. In some cities the Latin and Christian ways of life survived the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Latin inscriptions in Volubilis date from as late as the 7th century.
It was during this period that Jewish communities, established after the Exodus from Egypt, also evolved in Morocco. Judaism is the oldest religious denomination in the country to have survived without interruption to the present day, though many Jews left following the founding of Israel in 1948. Reminders of their presence can be seen in the Jewish quarters, or mellah, which survive in virtually every medina in Morocco up to this day.
