Numidia
Numidia was a Berber kingdom in what is now Algeria and Tunisia, united by Masinissa, who allied with Rome against Carthage. Its king Jugurtha fought a long war with Rome at the end of the 2nd century BCE. Rome made it a province after Juba I sided with Pompey, and it was finally absorbed in 25 BCE.
