LEFT G^TULIA 239 GAINES'S MILL longed to the crown of Naples till 1860. In modern times it has been repeatedly besieged; the last siege of note was in 1806, when it fell into the hands of the French.

Its inhabitants belonged in all probability to the aborig- inal Berber family of north and north- western Africa; they were not in general black, though a portion of them dwelling in the extreme S., toward the Niger, had approximated to this color through inter- mixture with the natives and from cli- matic causes, and were called Melano- gsetuli, or "Black Gaetulians." The Gaetu- lians were savage and war-like, and paid great attention to the rearing of horses. They first came into collision with the Romans during the Jugurthine war, when they served as light horse in the army of the Numidian king. Cossus Lentulus broke them to Roman rule, ob- taining for his success a triumph and the surname of Gaetulicus (a. d. 6). The ancient Gaetulians are believed to be rep- resented by the modern Tuareg.
