The iconographical type of Aesculapius and Hygia, in Africa, is from hellenistic origin. Almost the whole of their representations looks classic, showing the importance of graeco-romain cult. The North african characteristic of the images of Aesculapius and Hygia does not belong to the shapes themselves, but in the choices which are as much discontinuances in the desespérate monotony. The forms of expression of the cult, which were diffused only amongst social classes pervious to Roman ideology, reveal religious attitudes peculiar to Africa
