I believe, under centuries of Roman rule, they were very much romanized and consider themselves Roman citizen; but still the multitude of Northern African people has to be have their own unique clothing and appearance that signify their own ethnicities, and what were those?
At first, here is a map with the most important Berber ethnicities of the Maghreb druing Hellenistic era:
Mediterranaen Berbers were brighter skinned than their Garamantian cousins in the south. Here some depictions of Numidians:
Here a depiction of two Romanized Berbers from Ghirza, northern Libya (Third-Fourth century AD):
Here a painted stele fragment from western Algeria, depicting a Christian Berber family:
How were the germanic Vandals situate themselves in here?
During the time the Vandals settled there the populace in the area around Carthage was more or less completly Romanized, and since the Vandals were only so few in number they underwent a relatively quick process of Romanization aswell. Only thing they sticked to was Arianism.
