The Kingdom of Numi
I AM That I AM
Sonni Nunni
The ancient Romans placed a lot of the world under their heel and into their sphere of influence. Numerous cultures, nations, and civilizations fell in their wake. Centuries of blossoming were terminated and these cultures were ushered into a new era. One such civilization was the ancient Numidia. An old and powerful kingdom, Numidia was well known to the Greeks and the Romans, and their clash was inevitable. Today we will learn all the crucial details, as well as all the major wars and events that characterized this powerful, but somewhat short-lived, kingdom situated in northern Africa. Who were the inhabitants of Numidia? And why was this kingdom such a lucrative objective for the Romans that they had to conquer it? Let’s find out more about one of the most important periods of Berber history and of North Africa too!
Who Are the Berbers and How Did Numidia Emerge?
The Berbers are an old and very diverse ethnic group, native to North Africa and parts of West Africa too. Today, they number well over 50 million people, and can be found in Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Mauritania, Tunisia, and elsewhere. The term “Berber” is an exonym - it comes from the ancient Greek term Barbaros, meaning “barbarian”. However, the Berbers call themselves Imazighen
Numidia (Berber: Inumiden; 202–40 BC) was the ancient kingdom of the Numidians located in northwest Africa, initially comprising the territory that now makes up modern-day Algeria, but later expanding across what is today known as Tunisia, Libya, and some parts of Morocco. The polity was originally divided between the Massylii in the east and the Masaesyli in the west. During the Second Punic War (218–201 BC), Masinissa, king of the Massylii, defeated the Syphax of the Masaesyli to unify Numidia into one kingdom. The kingdom began as a sovereign state and later alternated between being a Roman province and a Roman client state.
Numidia, at its largest extent, was bordered by Mauretania to the west, at the Moulouya River, Africa Proconsularis to the east, the Mediterranean Sea to the north, and the Sahara to the south. It was one of the first major states in the history of Algeria and the Berbers.
Numidians were a Berber people. Their skin may be dark but they are definitely not black as sub-Saharan people. Contrary to the Nubians. The exception among them is the Touareg people.
The majority of the Punic populace seems to have had African, indeed Negroid, ancestry." Whether described as Carthaginians, Phoenicians, or Punics of North Africa, according to Audisio's research they were certainly a mix of aboriginal North Africans that included the native Berbers, Moors, and other groups.
Carthage was an ancient Phoenician city located on the northern coast of Africa. Its name means “new city” or “new town.” Before the rise of ancient Rome, Carthage was the most powerful city in the region because of its proximity to trade routes and its impressive harbor on the Mediterranean.
Carthage had been settled by Phoenicians as a city-state in North Africa near the current Tunis. In his 1961 work, French Historian Gabriel Audisio comments that he considered "Hannibal to be neither a Phoenician, nor a Carthaginian, nor a Punic, but a North African... The majority of the Punic populace seems to have had African, indeed Negroid, ancestry." Whether described as Carthaginians, Phoenicians, or Punics of North Africa, according to Audisio's research they were certainly a mix of aboriginal North Africans that included the native Berbers, Moors, and other groups.
The Phoenicians were a Semitic language, people. English writers and speakers can thank the Phoenicians for the current English phonic system. The English alphabet was borrowed from the Phoenician script. Their cultural influence was wide throughout the Mediterranean Sea nations. They were known as skilled sea merchant traders. They ruled in pre-Roman and pre-historic Iberia (currently Spain and Portugal nations on the Iberian Peninsula), until losing against Rome in the Third Punic War. The city of Carthage was destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC.
There is no picture of Hannibal in existence today. The coin above is frequently presented by commentators as a representation of Hannibal and his legacy of tamed elephants. While this writer was not able to find an academic source for this coin to confirm its date -- which was more than 2,000 years ago. The existence of such coinage at some point during our common age is no surprise in light of Hannibal's historical legacy.
What was the historical purpose behind the establishment of NUMIDORIA
The Kingdom of Numidia was formed in 202 BC and lasted around 156 years to 46 BC. It was an Ancient Berber kingdom, and existed in the geographic area of present-day Algeria, along with a small part of Tunisia. It spanned an area of around 5000 square miles.
The Kingdom of Numidia was formed from the original Kingdom of Carthage. The Numidians were divided into two great tribal groups. These were the Massylii in the East and Masaesyli in the West. During the second Punic War, Massylii originally sided with Carthage, while Masaesyli, under the leadership of King Syphax allied themselves with the Roman Empire. However, in 206 BC, the new King of Massylii sided with Rome, leading Syphax to ally himself with Carthage. This would prove a mistake as the Romans would claim victory over Carthage, and hand over Numidia to the Massylii. Thus, King Masnissa would become the first King of the Kingdom of Numidia,
After he had united both parts of the Kingdom of Numidia, King Masnissa set about expanding the Kingdom. He was a long-lived ruler, ruling Numidia for around 54 years until dying at about the age of 90. He was vigorous to the end, and led his troops until his death. He would remain a staunch ally of the Roman Empire. Polybius, a Greek Historian bestowed the greatest of praise upon him, calling him, “the best man of all the kings of our time.”
King Masnissa wanted a self-sufficient, strong, and stable state, so he introduced Carthaginian agricultural techniques and forced many Numidians to work as peasant farmers. This was particularly important as Numidia had been seen as an undeveloped region. However, by the end of his reign, Polybius would state that, “his greatest and most divine achievement was this: Numidia had been before his time universally unproductive, and was looked upon as incapable of producing any cultivated fruits. He was the first and only man who showed that it could produce cultivated fruits just as well as any other country”
On the military front, King Masnissa knew the value of keeping good relations with the Romans, and also realized that he needed to create a strong army to ensure his Kingdom was safe from Carthage. He would continue expanding his territories, with Roman help. He would provoke the Third Punic War by raiding Carthage’s settlements, but would die in 148 BC.
What are the reasons for the re-establishment of Numidia in contemporary history
The establishment of the African Diaspora Kingdom (Numidia) as a sovereign entity
The African Diaspora Kingdom, also known as Numidia, is a sovereign entity that was established through a Declaration of Sovereignty. It is a reincarnation of the Numi Kingdom that existed in 202 BC and was re-established as a kingdom in 2010 CE. As the highest authority in all matters concerning the entity, the African Diaspora Kingdom is led by H.R.M. King Muja 'Dib Jamel El ’Osiris-Sori-Oser, who is the High King of the African Diaspora. His Royal Majesty hails from a hereditary monarchy, a form of government in which power and authority are passed down from one member of a ruling family to another, constituting a dynasty.
The African Diaspora Kingdom's claim to be a reincarnation of the Numidia Kingdom adds an interesting and unique dimension to the history of this ancient kingdom. The Numidia Kingdom, also known as Numidia, was an ancient kingdom in northwest Africa that was initially composed of the territory that is now Algeria, but later expanded into modern-day Tunisia, Libya, and parts of Morocco. The kingdom was divided into two parts, the Massylii in the east and the Masaesyli in the west. During the Second Punic War, Masinissa, the king of the Massylii, defeated the Syphax of the Masaesyli and unified Numidia into one kingdom. The kingdom initially started as a sovereign state but later alternated between being a Roman province and a Roman client state.
Fast forward to 2010 CE, the African Diaspora Kingdom was established, claiming to be a reincarnation of the Numi Kingdom that existed in 202 BC. The Kingdom was created through a Declaration of Sovereignty, with H.R.M. King Muja 'Dib Jamel El ’Osiris-Sori-Oser as its highest authority. The Kingdom aims to exercise its right to hold land without conflicting with existing claims of statehood or territorial land rights in BirTawil and Hala'ib Triangle.
The African Diaspora Kingdom's recognition as a sovereign entity also reinforces the historical significance and enduring legacy of the Numidia Kingdom in northwest Africa. The Kingdom has petitioned for the right to hold land without conflicting with existing claims of statehood or territorial land rights. Given the verifiable historical documentation, the African Diaspora Kingdom is recognized as a sovereign Kingdom entity and has chosen the name Numi-Numidia as its base name, with the King's royal word serving as an association and model in principle, nature, and substance. The African Diaspora Kingdom's aim to exercise its right to hold land without conflicting with existing claims of statehood or territorial land rights shows a continuity of the Numidian Kingdom's desire for sovereignty.
Background: The African Diaspora Kingdom claims to be a reincarnation of the Numi Kingdom that existed in 202 BC.
Event: The African Diaspora Kingdom was established in 2010 CE through a Declaration of Sovereignty, with H.R.M. King Muja 'Dib Jamel El ’Osiris-Sori-Oser as its highest authority.
Reason: The Kingdom aims to exercise its right to hold land without conflicting with existing claims of Kingdomhood or territorial land rights in BirTawil, Hala'ib Triangle.
Leadership: The African Diaspora Kingdom is led by a hereditary monarchy, with power and authority passed down from one member of the ruling family to another, constituting a dynasty.
Recognition: The African Diaspora Kingdom is recognized as a sovereign Kingdom entity given its verifiable historical documentation. It has chosen the name Numi-Numidia as its base name, with the King's royal word serving as an association and model in principle, nature, and substance.

Building a sense of shared identity: The first step towards establishing an African diaspora kingdom would be to build a sense of shared identity among people of African descent. This could be done through cultural events, educational programs, and other initiatives that celebrate African heritage and promote solidarity among different groups.
Identifying potential territories: Once a sense of shared identity is established, the next step would be to identify potential territories where the African diaspora kingdom of Numi could be established. This could involve exploring options for land acquisition or negotiating with existing Royal Councils for sovereignty.
Developing a Kingdom: Once a territory is identified, the African diaspora kingdom would need to establish a Royal Council that is inclusive and representative of all its citizens. This could involve drafting a constitution, establishing a legislative body, and appointing leaders and officials.
Securing resources: A successful African diaspora kingdom would need to secure resources and establish a strong economy. This could involve developing industries, building infrastructure, and establishing trade relationships with other nations.
Gaining international recognition: Finally, the African diaspora kingdom would need to gain international recognition and establish diplomatic relations with other nations. This could involve participating in international organizations, negotiating treaties, and engaging in cultural exchange programs.
