Hassan ibn al-Nu'man
Hassan ibn al-Nu'man was an Arab general of the Umayyad Caliphate who completed the conquest of North Africa. He took Carthage in 695 and, after the Byzantines briefly recovered it, again in 698, and he fought the Berber queen Dihya, who defeated him before being killed around 701–703. He organised the province of Ifriqiya and developed Tunis as a naval base.
