Baquates

In one passage in his Cosmography (late 4th century), Julius Honorius places the Baquates south of the Makanitai beyond the Bou Regreg, agreeing with the Itinerary.[2] The epigraphic evidence suggests that the Baquates may have been employed by the Romans as federates in the east far from their home territory in the south, perhaps guarding communications between the two Mauretanias.The Verona List includes the Mauri bacuates among the barbarians who were under the authority of the Roman emperor in Mauretania.[2] A further eleven inscriptions from between 140 and 280 record meetings (colloquia) between the Baquates and the Roman authorities, six of which expressly concern the renewal of peace or of federate status.[1][2] During the succeeding reign of Antoninus Pius (138–161), the leader of the Baquates, Tuccuda, bore the title of princeps (prince) and used the Roman nomen Aelius.Their leader is titled rex (king), indicating a rise in status, while the Roman officials are of lower rank than before, suggesting less hostility between the parties.
