Adherbal (king of Numidia)

French Algeria (19th–20th centuries) Algerian War (1954–1962) 1990s–2000s 2010s to present Adherbal (Punic: 𐤀𐤃𐤓𐤁𐤏𐤋, ʾDRBʿL),[1] son of Micipsa and grandson of Masinissa, was a king of Numidia between 118 and 112 BC.

[2] He inherited the throne after the death of his father, and ruled jointly with his younger brother Hiempsal, and Jugurtha, the nephew of Masinissa.

After the murder of his brother by Jugurtha, Adherbal fled to Rome and was restored to his share of the kingdom by the Romans in 117 BC, with Jugurtha ruling his brother's former share.

[3][4][5] François Joseph Lagrange-Chancel's 1694 French play Adherbal, King of Numidia is based on his story.
