Numidia was a polity in northwest Africa. It was created as a vassal territory of Carthage, but the peace imposed by the Romans made Numidia an independent Kingdom. From the period of the Jugurthine wars it fell under the influence of Rome, alternating between the status of client or full province of the Roman state.
