Juba II (c. 50 BC—24 AD) was son of Juba I and king of the North African states of Numidia (29–25 BC) and Mauretania (25 BC– 24 AD). As a child of about five, Juba was paraded in Rome in Caesar’s triumphal procession after the death of Juba I but subsequently was given a good education in Italy. Octavian (the future emperor Augustus) befriended Juba when he was a young man and in 29 BC installed him as king of Numidia, which had been a Roman province since the defeat of Juba I in 46. In 25 Juba was made ruler of Mauretania, which he governed until his death. His first wife, Cleopatra Selene, daughter of Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra, exercised great influence on his policies.
