Regarding the Numidians
#1
Ave
I was reading an account of the Jugurthine Wars and was startled to see that some Numidians had obviously Carthaginian names like Adherbal and Mastanabal. I'm wondering does that mean Numidians were of Phoenician extraction or that they had simply adopted Carthaginian names in imitation of a "superior" culture?
