Juba II (in Berber language: Yuba win sin or Yuva wis sin) is a Berber king of Mauretania, located in nowadays Algeria. He was born in Hippo (now Annaba) about 52 before J.-C. and died around 23 after christ. His reign began aroune 25 BC, under the Roman tutelage and his capital was Caesarea of Mauritania, present Cherchell.
In May 2017, the Musée de Cherchell organized a study day in collaboration with a group "Les Amis du fort de Cherchell".
The research was based on a theoretical part, notably on the consultation of the military archives of the Château de Vincennes and on an on-site research component using geophysics.
The results of the research on Cherchell fort concerned:
· Its construction and architecture
· His involvement in the defense of the city
· Its geo-location
· Its modeling in 3 dimensions.
