Barbaria was the name used by the ancient Greeks for littoral northeast Africa. The corresponding Arabic term, bilad al-Barbar (land of the Barbar), was used in the Middle Ages.[1] The name of Barbaria is preserved today in the name of the Somali city of Berbera,[1] the city known to the Greeks as Malao.[2][3][4][5]
