Micipsa
(Μικίψας). A king of Numidia, the eldest of the sons of Masinissa (q.v.), on whose death (B.C. 148) Scipio divided the supreme power between Micipsa and his two brothers, Gulussa and Mastanabal. The death of his brothers soon made him sole monarch of Numidia, which he ruled mildly and with wisdom until his death (Sall. Iug. 5-11; Florus, iii. 2). He died B.C. 118, leaving two sons, Adherbal and Hiempsal. See Iugurtha.
