Quick Summary

Bogud was a king of Mauretania, ruling the western portion of the kingdom from approximately 50 BCE until his subjects rebelled against him. He was the son of Bocchus I and a brother to Bocchus II, who ruled the eastern half of Mauretania. Bogud and his brother supported Julius Caesar in his conflict against the Pompeians and King Juba I of Numidia. After Caesar's assassination, Bogud aligned himself with Mark Antony, while his brother supported Octavian. Bogud's reign ended when his subjects revolted, leading to Bocchus II seizing his territory. Mauretania itself was a region in ancient North Africa, encompassing modern-day northern Morocco and western/central Algeria.12
