Numidia (L'Uniona Homanus)

A Short History of Numidia
Mauritania, a Kingodm which existed in northern Africa, was divided into many separate Provinces. Mauritania Numidia, which took its later name of Numidia as the title of its Province, was one of these. Mauritania Caesarensis was another name of this province, after the name of the capital Caesarea (Cherchell). Numidia was another of the desert provinces but it had many fertile lands on the coasts. The Numidians did not have the resources to start the massive irrigation projects in provinces like Mauritania or Aegyptus but they were an importat part of the Western Mediterranean economy.
