Topic: Bocchus I of Mauretania


  
  Bocchus II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Son of King Bocchus of Mauretania (who was born about 110 B.C.), in the early years of Bocchus reign, Mauretania was jointly ruled between Bocchus and his younger brother Bogud, with Bocchus ruling east of the Mulucha River and his brother west.
At the end of the war, Caesar bestowed upon Bocchus part of the territory of Massinissa, Juba's ally, which was recovered after Caesar's murder by Massinissa's son Arabion.
Dio Cassius says that Bocchus sent his sons to support Sextus Pompeius in Spain, while Bogud fought on the side of Caesar, and there is no doubt that after Caesar's death Bocchus supported Octavian, and Bogud Antony.

 Mauretania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Antiquity, Mauretania was a Berber kingdom on the Mediterranean coast of north Africa (named after the Maure tribe, after whom the Moors were named), corresponding to western Algeria, Spain's Plaza de soberanía and northern Morocco.
When Juba died in 23, his Roman-educated son Ptolemy of Mauretania succeeded him on the throne, but Caligula killed him in 40 and annexed Mauretania directly as a Roman province in 42, under an imperial (not senatorial) governor.
Mauretania gave to the empire one emperor, the equestrian Macrinus, who seized power after the assassination of Caracalla in 217 but was himself defeated and executed by Elegabalus the next year.

 numidia - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
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 BC, Juba was transferred to the throne of Mauretania, and Numidia was divided between Mauretania and the province of Africa Nova.
Under Septimus Severus (193 AD), 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 Numidia was highly Romanized and was studded with numerous towns.

 Numidia - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
After the death of Jugurtha (106 BC) as a Roman captive, western Numidia was added to the lands of Bocchus, king of Mauretania, while the remainder (excluding Cyrene and its locality) continued to be governed by native princes until the civil war between Caesar and Pompey.
After Pompey was defeated by Caesar, he committed suicide (46 BC) in Numidia, and it became briefly the province of Africa Nova until Augustus restored Juba II (son of Juba I) after the Battle of Actium.
Under Septimus Severus (193 AD), 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.

Bocchus cannot bargain with that which he does not possess any more than Rome can demand a city won by it's ally as payment for a debt owed her by Mauretania.
King Bocchus meanwile finds his ally gone, his own army stupidly trapped between three Roman legions and15,000 Numidians on the east and south and 20,000 Cretan Mercenaries on the west side.
Rome can withdraw support from her ally, if she wishes, but her ally cannot be forced to accept the loss of one of her hard won cities nor to forgive the three arrows that were treacherously fired at her King's back AFTER he left the city of Saldae.
