Almansor

) Bocchus was king of Mauretania, that part of north Africa bounded on the north by the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, and on the east by the River Ampsaga, which divided it from Numidia; it is now Morocco and western Algeria. When the region became a Roman province the eastern part was called Mauretinia Csesariensis. The region is the same as that which Milton elsewhere refers to as “the Kingdoms of Almansor.” Bocchus is a prominent character in the Jugurtha of Sallust. Bodotria. Hist. Brit.
