  Numidia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Numidia was an ancient African Berber kingdom and later a Roman province on the northern coast of Africa between the province of Africa (where Tunisia is now) and the province of Mauretania (which is now the western part of Algeria's coastal area).
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.
