king of See also:Mauretania (about 1 ro B.C.), and See also:father-in-See also:law of Jugurtha. In lob he vacillated between Jugurtha and the See also:Romans, and joined Jugurtha only on his promising him the third See also:part of his See also:kingdom. The two See also:kings were twice defeated. Bocchus again made overtures to the Romans, and after an interview with See also:Sulla, who was See also:Marius's See also:quaestor at that See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time, sent ambassadors to See also:Rome. At Rome the See also:hope of an See also:alliance was encouraged, but on See also:condition that Bocchus showed himself deserving of it. After further negotiations with Sulla, he finally agreed to send a See also:message to Jugurtha requesting his presence. Jugurtha See also:fell into the See also:trap and was given up to Sulla. Bocchus concluded a treaty with the Romans, and a portion of See also:Numidia was added to his kingdom.

His son, Boccxus, was king of Mauretania, jointly with ayounger See also:brother Bogud. As enemies of the senatorial party, their See also:title was recognized by See also:Caesar (49 B.C.). During the See also:African See also:war they invaded Numidia and conquered See also:Cirta, the See also:capital of the kingdom of See also:Juba, who was thus obliged to abandon the See also:idea of joining See also:Metellus Scipio against Caesar. At the end of the war, Caesar bestowed upon Bocchus part of the territory of See also:Massinissa, Juba's ally, which was recovered after Caesar's See also:murder by Massinissa's son Arabion. Dio See also:Cassius says that Bocchus sent his sons to support Sextus Pompeius in See also:Spain, while Bogud fought on the See also:side of Caesar, and there is no doubt that after Caesar's See also:death Bocchus supported Octavian, and Bogud Antony. During Bogud's See also:absence in Spain, his brother seized the whole of Numidia, and was confirmed See also:sole ruler by Octavian. After his death in 33, Numidia was made a See also:Roman See also:province.
