Biography

Bocchus II was king of Mauretania. Son of Sosus Mastanesosus, who was dead in 49 BC. In the early years of Bocchus's reign, Mauretania was jointly ruled between Bocchus and his younger brother Bogud, with Bocchus ruling east of the Mulucha River and his brother west.
As enemies of the senatorial party, their title was recognized by Julius Caesar. During the African war they invaded Numidia and conquered Cirta, the capital of the kingdom of Juba, who was thus obliged to abandon the idea of joining Metellus Scipio against Caesar. At the end of the war, Caesar bestowed upon Bocchus part of the territory of Massinissa, Juba's ally, which was recovered by Massinissa's son Arabio after Caesar's murder.
