Baga (king)
Baga was a Berber king of Mauretania about 225 BC. He ruled the kingdom from his capital situated in Sila.
King Baga appeared during the events of the second Punic war. Upon Masinissa’s return to Africa he had to either pass through Massaesylian territory, his arch rivals, or through Mauretanian territory. Choosing the latter he was provided with a bodyguard by King Baga of Mauretania that stayed with Masinissa until he reached the borders of his own kingdom.
