of Mauretania (The Forgotten Civilisations of Africa Book 2)

The Kingdom of Numidia was the most powerful autochthonous civilisation in North Africa until Rome set foot on the African soil. Numidia became even too powerful for its own good and Rome (that just got rid of its rival Carthage) did not intend to let a new rival develop in its vicinity.

Rome fought many times against the Numidian kings and at some stage they managed to occupy completely their lands.

After that Numidia disappeared completely from the maps but the neighbouring kingdom of Mauretania survived and grew in power and in importance. Mauretania and Rome co-existed “in peace” for a while but at some stage, the Romans, decided to expand further in Africa and moved towards… Mauretania.

This book will deal with this other great civilisation (too little known too) that existed more than 2000 years ago.
