Berber kings of Roman-era Tunisia
For nearly 250 years, Berber kings of the 'House of Masinissa' ruled in Numidia, which included much of Tunisia, and later in adjacent regions, first as sovereigns allied with Rome and then eventually as Roman clients. This period commenced with the defeat of Carthage by the Roman Army, assisted by Berber cavalry led by Masinissa, at the Battle of Zama in 202, and it lasted until the year 40, during the reign of the Roman Emperor Gaius a.k.a. Caligula (37–41).During the Second Punic War (218–201) Rome had entered into alliance with Masinissa, himself the son of a Berber tribal leader. Masinissa had been driven out of his ancestral realm by a Carthage-backed Berber rival. Following the Roman victory at Zama, Masinissa (r.202–148) was celebrated as a ""friend of the Roman people"". He became King of Numidia for over fifty years. Thereafter for seven generations his line of kings continued its relationship with an increasingly powerful Roman state.During this era, the Berbers ruled over many cities as well as extensive lands; the peoples under their governance enjoyed a general prosperity. Municipal and civic affairs were organized using a combination of Punic and Berber political traditions. One descendant king, a grandson of Masinissa, Jugurtha (r.118–105), successfully attacked his cousin kings, who were also allies of Rome; thus he became Rome's enemy during a long struggle. In the Roman civil wars after the fall of the Roman Republic (44 BC), Berber kings were courted for their military support by the contending political factions. Thereafter, Berber kings continued to reign, but had become merely clients of Imperial Rome.One such Berber king married the daughter of Cleopatra of Egypt. Yet he and his son, the last two Berber kings (reigns: 25 BC–40 AD), were not accepted by many of their own Berber subjects. During this period, Roman settlers increasingly were taking for their own use as farms, the traditional pasture lands of transhumant Berber tribes. Then the Romans were challenged, however, but not by these Berber kings.The commoner Tacfarinas raised a revolt in defense of Berber rights to the land. Tacfarinas became a great tribal chief as a result of his insurgency (17-24 AD) against Rome.
