Historical background


MAURETANIA - MAURETANIAN KINGDOM - JUBA II

(25 BC - 23 AD)

Juba I had been defeated at Thapsus in 46 BC but his son, Juba II (50 AC. - 23 AD), brought up by Octavia, became the friend of Augustus who gave him the province of Mauretania in 25 BC Cleopatra Selene, daughter of Cleopatra VII and Marc Antoine, was spared by Octave in 30 BC when the latter had Ptolemy XV (Caesarion) put to death. She married Juba II around 19 BC and died around 5 or 6 AD. Juba II survived him by about eighteen years. She is the great aunt of Caligula and the mother of Ptolemy who succeeded Juba II and whom his cousin Caligula had assassinated in Rome in 40 to annex Mauretania.
