  Numidia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the end of the war the victorious Romans gave all of Numidia to Massinissa (died 148 BCE) of the Massaesyli, whose territory extended from Mauretania to the boundary of the Carthaginian territory, and also southeast as far as Cyrenaica, so that Numidia entirely surrounded Carthage (Appian, Punica, 106) except towards the sea.
Soon afterwards, in 25 BCE, Juba was transferred to the throne of Mauretania, and Numidia was divided between Mauretania and the province of Africa Nova.
Under Septimus Severus (193 CE), Numidia was separated from Africa Vetus, and governed by an imperial procurator; finally, under the new organization of the empire by Diocletian, Numidia became one of the seven provinces of the diocese of Africa, being known as Numidia Cirtensis.
