circunceliones
  39

From Latin circum cellas euntes, those who go from farm to farm. They were a heterogeneous group that emerged in North Africa in the early 4th century associated with donors. They called themselves agonistici, fighters of Christ, although St. Augustine considered them thieves and jumpers who did not respect the property because they raided the farms and released the slaves. They were also joined by an anti-Roman feeling.
