Gulussa
Gulussa ( Greek Γολόσσης, tamazight ⴳⵓⵍⵓⵙⵙⴰ; † before 118 BC) was the second son of the Numid king Massinissa and since his death (149 BC) king of the Numidian Empire together with his brothers Micipsa and Mastanabal until his own death .
In 150 BC Gulussa was his father's envoy in Carthage and then supported the Romans in the Third Punic War . During this time he negotiated with the Carthaginian leader Hasdrubal and made the acquaintance of the historian Polybius .
Gulussa had a son named Massiva , who apparently played no role in the division of the empire between the sons of Micipsa and Mastanabal.
