Masuna
Masuna or Massonas (fl. c. 508–535) was a Berber ruler of the Mauro-Roman Kingdom, centered at Altava in present-day western Algeria, near the Tlemcen region. He is attested as a Christian and is known from an inscription identifying him as king over both Roman and Mauri populations. He was able to maintain the independence of his kingdom by resisting occupation from the Vandals. King Masuna allied with the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian and assisted him in a war against the Vandals in 533 and also against other invading Berber tribal confederations. During his reign he was obeyed by the tribes of Mauretania.
