Person
Firmus (Berber prince)
Firmus was a Berber prince of Mauretania, son of the powerful chief Nubel, who led a revolt against Roman rule around 372–375 CE. After a dispute over his father's succession and a quarrel with the Roman count Romanus, he won support from local tribes and some Donatist Christians. The general Theodosius the Elder was sent against him, and Firmus killed himself to avoid capture.
