| Additional information |
Bogud ruled western Mauretania as an ally of Julius Caesar, a loyalty that proved decisive — and ultimately fatal to his dynasty. He contributed cavalry to Caesar's campaigns in Spain and Africa, and his kingdom's coinage reflects a ruler operating within Rome's political orbit while maintaining the trappings of independent kingship. When he backed Mark Antony after Caesar's death, his brother Bocchus II seized the opportunity and the throne, leaving Bogud in permanent exile. The denarius series attributable to his reign is consequently small.
