Aghlabid dynasty (sh)




(800-909) Arab Muslim dynasty that ruled Ifriqiyyah (Tunisia and eastern Algeria) through a succession of 11 emirs.

Nominally subject to the Abbasid dynasty, they in fact were independent. High points of Aghlabid rule included the conquest of Sicily (827-829), the flowering of their capital city, Kairouan (9th century), and naval control of the central Mediterranean Sea. Public works included a system for conserving and distributing water.
