Vermina (Punic: 𐤅𐤓𐤌𐤍𐤃, WRMND)[1][2][3] was the son of king Syphax and king of the Masaesylian Berbers,[4] a Berber tribe of western Numidia, an ancient Berber kingdom in North Africa.
During the Second Punic War, Vermina sided with the Carthaginians, however his forces only arrived to assist Hannibal after his defeat at the Battle of Zama, leading Vermina's army to be defeated by the Romans.[5] While Vermina escaped this battle, he was forced to sue for peace with the Romans in 200 BC.[5]
