Although the Moors came to be associated with Muslims, the name Moor pre-dates Islam.It derives from the small Numidian Kingdom of Maure of the 3rd century
BCE in what is now northern central and western part of Algeria and a part of northern Morocco. The name came to be applied to people of the entire region. "They were called Maurisi by the Greeks, and Mauri by the Romans." During that age, the Maure or Moors were trading partners of
Carthage, the independent city state founded by Phoenicians.

Hannibal Barca was the leader of the Carthaginian forces which fought against Rome during the Second Punic War, and was considered to have been Rome's greatest enemy.After early successes in Spain, Hannibal led his army across the Alps, into Italy and achieved a series of military victories. Perhaps his greatest success came at the battle of Cannae in 216 BC.Finally, recalled to North Africa, to defend his home city, Hannibal lost the battle of Zama, in 202 BC.After the end of the Second Punic War, Hannibal left North Africa for Asia Minor where he continued his life-long struggle against Rome, by leading the armies of eastern rulers.

 

 

However, the Romans pursued him relentlessly, and rather than be captured alive, Hannibal committed suicide by taking poison.

The History of the Moors in Northern Africa and Europe.

 

 

 

 

Under King Jugurtha collateral violence against merchants brought

war. Juba, a later king, was a friend of Rome. Eventually, the region
was incorporated into the Roman Empire as the provinces of Mauretania
Caesariensis and Mauretania Tingitana; the area around Carthage already
being the province of Africa. Roman rule was beneficial and effective
enough so that these provinces became fully integrated into the empire.

From Italian Venetian Black-a-Moor exotic expensive jewelry, lamps and sculptures,Moors in past and today's
European flags and Coat of Arms. To new German Pope Benedict's Moorish roots. A secret story is being revealed and concealed. Blac Neither Vandal nor Byzantine exercised an effective rule, the interior being under Moorish Berber control For over 50 years, the Berbers
resisted Arab armies from the east. Especially memorable was that led by
Kahina the Berber prophetess of the Awras, during 690–701. Yet by the
92nd lunar year after the Hijra, the Arab Muslims had prevailed across
North Africa
