message: One of my most respected sources, Bruce Gordan's Regnal Chrononlogies, makes a mention in his entry for the city of Constantine in north Africa. And Euratlas' maps of Europe in 500 AD and 600 AD both show a "Kingdom of the Romans and Moors in Algeria, not under Vandal control.
They also show a distinct "Mauri" kingdom in Morrocco.
Would it be plausible to then say that part of the Western Empire survived the fall of Nepos and Syagrius? I unfortunately don't yet have more information, and wanted to bring it to your mutual attentions. It would make a very interesting note in this and a few other articles...

message: See Appian, "The African Book," chapter 106 (subsection 499 of the Loeb edition). Appian states that Massinissa (the same king famous for assisting Rome in the defeat of Hannibal during the Second Punic War) had, by the time of his death during the Third Punic War, extended his ancestral kingdom "from Mauretania on the [Atlantic] Ocean to Cyrene in the interior." If correct, this detail would be a valuable addition to the list of rulers of ancient Mauretania as currently included on this Wiki page. However it's not immediately clear which of Massinissa's sons succeeded to the rule after his death, possibly Micipsa? (He's the one who got the palace in Cirta.) A second corroborating source would be helpful, but it's a tantalizing detail nonetheless. I'm not making the change myself at this time, because I don't want to run afoul of any community standards; but if others agree that it would be a helpful addition, please feel welcome to add this detail to the Wiki page.
