"Exploring the Rich History and Culture of Numidia: From Moorish Merchants to Royal Weddings" Numidia, a land steeped in history and mystery, holds tales of ancient civilizations and remarkable individuals. In Algeria, a Moorish merchant with a tobacco pipe transports us back to an era when trade routes flourished. Another image showcases a distinguished Moorish man adorned in traditional attire - his turban, jacket, culottes, and cane reflecting the elegance of Algiers. One cannot speak without mentioning the grand wedding ceremony of King Massinissa. This momentous occasion united kingdoms and celebrated love amidst regal splendor. And then there is St Augustine of Hippo, whose profound teachings continue to inspire generations worldwide. Maps serve as windows into Numidia's geographical significance. A 1601 map reveals Morocco's intricate landscapes while a colored engraving from 1763 unveils the vast expanse of the western part of the Roman Empire. The head of Juba II emerges from history's depths - this king ruled both Numidia and Mauretania while being married to Cleopatra Selene II, daughter of Cleopatra VII and Mark Antony. An engraving by Stefano della Bella captures the essence of Numidie in 1644. Nicolas Beatrizet's masterpiece "Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae: Roma Victrix" showcases Rome's triumphs but also reminds us that Numidian influences were intertwined with those victories. The Jugurthine War finds its place too - an incident immortalized through art in 1890 by an unknown artist. "The Triumph of Marius, " depicted on canvas in 1729, symbolizes not only military prowess but also highlights how Numidian culture left its mark on conquerors throughout time. Lastly, we gaze upon another captivating sculpture - Juba II’s head discovered at Volubilis in Morocco dating back to 25 BC-23 CE.
