الاحتلال الروماني لمملكتي نوميديا و موريطانيا (46 ق م.-40 م)‎

Abstract EN

The Romans launched the conquest of Carthago in 146 BC.

A long colonial era for the ancient Maghreb, considering it subject to a fate similar to the rest of the Kingdoms of the land of Maghreb.

After converting them to the property of the Carthaginian state to an African province, they intervened to settle the situation of the Numid kingdom after the death of Massinissa in 148 BC, highlighting their ambition to dominate it, and then expanding westward to the occupation of Mauretania.

This colonial policy is rooted in the Romans' capture of Juguratha, who was arrested following a conspiracy involving his son-in-law, Bochus I of Mauretania.

The Roman policy in this period was also characterized by the appeasement of the times and the mixed alliance of inciting the local population against each other until the year 46 BC.

So that Numidia was occupied, and then the Emperor Caligula, about 100 years after the assassination of Ptolémée, the king of Mauretania, and officially control the Kingdom in the year 40 AD.
