The Kingdom of Mauretania: The Lost Amazigh Civilization of Morocco (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798266895096)

Mauretania was a kingdom where myth, legend, and history intertwined. From the ancient stories of Atlas to the rise of Amazigh rulers who stood between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, it became a land that connected Africa to the wider world. Its history is layered with power, trade, and alliances that carried weight far beyond its borders.

Across centuries, Mauretania faced shifting tides of empire - Carthaginian traders, Roman generals, and Mediterranean dynasties. Yet it remained a stage of its own, producing kings and queens whose influence reached as far as Rome and Egypt. In their courts, culture and politics blended, leaving behind tales of diplomacy, betrayal, scholarship, and survival.

This book retraces that journey. It follows the rise of the kingdom, its most powerful rulers, its relationship with its sister Numidia, its encounters with Rome, and the long legacy that carried the Moorish name across empires and centuries. Alongside the story are many illustrations of coins, ruins, ancient cities, and depictions of kings, queens, and battles - vivid reminders of a kingdom that deserves to be remembered.
