Description

Before the Numidians were conquered by the Romans and Numidia was officially made part of Roman Africa they developed a culture that was as sophisticated and unique as any in the ancient world The Numidians were a Berber people who emerged from the edge of the desert in the late 2nd millennium BCE and despite the harshness of their environment or perhaps because of it they eventually became the most powerful people in North Africa The Numidians found success on the backs of horses which they rode to countless military victories and when they could not defeat their enemies with conventional tactics they were not afraid to resort to asymmetrical warfare
