Carcasan

Carcasan was a libyan ruler of Ifuraces tribes in Libya that resided in Tripolitania and commander of Antalas coalition army left wing recorded during the Corippus records of the battle of Sufetula made of tribes from great and little Syrtis was active during the Berber insurrections in the Praetorium Prefecture of Africa in the mid-6th century. He first appears in the reports of General John Troglita's campaign in the winter of 546/547, when he was defeated with Antalas and other Berber leaders by Byzantine troops thanks notably to the major contribution of Berbers federates. In the spring of 547, after the death of the Laguatan chief Ierna and priest of Gurzil son of Imen, he united the scattered Berber tribes and was acclaimed as a leader by them. After consulting the oracle of Amon, he resumed the war against the Byzantines and inflicted a heavy defeat on them during the Battle of Marta while he was on the way to join the leader of the rebel army Antalas in Byzacena to then attack as far as Carthage capital of the Byzantine Prefecture of Africa and where they were able to deal several attacks weakening the Byzantines in Africa and according to Procopius "done horrible acts on it's inhabitants".
