Aghlabid dynasty

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Aghlabid dynasty

(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.
