An overview of the involvement of Aksum in the end of Meroe.
One of the most controversial topics within Northeast African history concerns the involvement of Aksum in the end of Meroe. Inscriptional and archaeological evidence reveals that the Middle Nile Valley state was subjugated by Aksumite forces and transformed into a tributary vassal around 300 AD. The well-known campaign of Ezana formed only one of several incidents in the process of Aksumite expansion and did not result in the collapse of the Meroitic kingdom which remained in local remnants for some decades. It will be shown how Aksumite iconography and textual records adopted local regalia and titles to legitimise Aksumite rule in this area.
