Below the mountainous region of the headstreams the Juba and its tributaries flow through a country generally arid away from the banks of the streams.
The soil is sandy, covered either with thorn-scrub or rank grass, which in the rainy season affords herbage for the herds of cattle, sheep and camels owned by the Boran Gallas and the Somali who inhabit the district.

 Juba's Dance
Juba represents what microhistorians– and I consider myself one such– call an ‘exceptional normal.’3 That is, Juba appears to be accepted within his immediate historical context, but for reasons that we do not understand– a fl performer in an otherwise exclusively white medium.
Juba was, first and foremost, in show business, and no doubt compromised mightily to survive in it for as long as he did.
Juba’s talent consists in walking round the stage with an air of satisfaction and with his toes turned in; in jumping backwards in a less graceful manner than we should have conceived possible; and in shaking his thighs like a man afflicted with palsy.

JUBA, Sudan –; The body of John Garang was flown from town to town in southern Sudan on Thursday for his people to pay last respects to their popular leader before his burial.
Juba is supposed to be a symbol of the new Sudan and the cooperation between the central government and Garang's Sudan People's Liberation Movement, which fought Khartoum's domination for 21 years.
But under the peace deal, it is to become the capital of an autonomous southern region – where most of the population is Christian or animist – with the military reducing its presence and former rebel fighters moving in as a parallel force.

 Master Juba -- The inventor of tap dancing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Lane combined patting juba with the jig and reel dances that he had learned from his poor Irish neighbors, and tossed in a taste of the many other ethnic dance steps he had learned, such as the shuffle, the slide, buckdancing, pigeon wing, and clog into a new dance that became known as tap dancing.
Juba and Diamond were then matched against each other in a series of staged tap dance competitions throughout the United States.
In 1845, Juba was the first fl performer to get top billing over a white performer in a minstrel show.

Chapter 1 discusses the Numidian kingdoms from the tribal coalitions of the fourth century through the reigns of Massinissa and Jugurtha to that of Juba I, whose coalition with the Pompeians and subsequent suicide led Caesar to annex the kingdom in 46 BCE and remove the king's young children to Rome.
Juba was not necessarily imitating and playing to Rome (alone), but (also) engaging in cultural dialogue or competition with another major African city.
Roller argues that Juba was especially interested in the links between Mauretania and Kleopatra Selene's Egypt, to the extent of locating the source of the Nile in the Atlas mountains, as well as in links between Africa and Italy.

Juba, prince of Numidia, warmly attach ed to Cato while he liv ed at Utica (in Africa), and passionately in love with Marcia, Cato’s daughter.
Sempronius, having disguised himself as Juba, was mistaken for the Numidian prince by Marcia; and being slain, she gave free vent to her grief, thus betraying the state of her affection.
Juba overheard her, and as it would have been mere prudery to deny her love after this display, she freely confessed it, and Juba took her as his betrothed and future wife.—Addison: Cato (1713).

The apparent problem with Roller's suggestion is that the same passage is usually understood to indicate that Alexander was alive at the time when Juba II married Cleopatra Selene, i.e.
However, his further argument that this was Juba's first campaign seems unfounded to me. Juba took part in Caesar's African triumph in 46 as a very young child, 2 years old or less (Appian, Civil Wars 2.101).
If Juba was present when Alexandria fell then, as the son of a defeated king, he certainly had a personal interest in the fates of Cleopatra's children as indicating Octavian's likely policy towards his own future.

By 1845 Juba beat Diamond every time which allowed Juba to receive top billing in a all white minstrel company called the Ethiopian Minstrels where he was billed as the 'Greatest Dancer In The World'.
The English were quite familiar with Jigs, Reels, Hornpipes, clogs and the like but reported that Juba was very unique, almost as if he created a new form of dancing.
A Juba (Giouba) was also a dance created by slaves featuring hand clapping and foot stomping, referred to as 'patting the Juba.' The word is traced back to its origin in Africa where it is seen in a dance called "Djouba" and in Haiti, where it is called "Martinique."

 The Shebelli - Juba basin
Within Somalia the discharge decreases rapidly as it flows to its confluence with the Juba River, as a result of losses by seepage, evaporation and overbank spillage due to a low channel capacity [186].
While the basin area of the Juba River at the border with Ethiopia is smaller than that of the Shebelli River, its discharge is almost three times as much due to geological conditions.
In the Juba basin, the planned, but up to now never constructed Baardhere dam was designed to irrigate up to 170000 ha, but the size of the dam already seems to have been reduced to irrigate 50000 ha, in view of the sharing of water with Ethiopia [103].
