Syphax

Syphax, king of the Masaesyli tribe in Numidia, allied with Carthage during the Second Punic War. He married Sophonisba, daughter of Hasdrubal Gisco, to seal the alliance, opposing the Roman-allied Numidian king Masinissa.

Syphax was captured by Roman forces under Scipio Africanus and Masinissa after the Battle of the Great Plains. He was taken to Rome as a prisoner, where he died in captivity. His kingdom was divided between Masinissa and other allies.
