I've had trouble trying to pin down the the actual appearance of the North African Numidians. I don't know if they were as olive-skinned as most modern day Libyans are or if the were in fact black-skinned. Perhaps they were ethnically heterogenous as present day Amazighen populations? Coins of Numidian kings depicts them as being Caucasian, I don't know if they're based off Hellenistic coins or if they in fact really looked this way.

Also, while Wiki mentions the presence of Black Africans serving in the Punic military, they aren't actually identified by any sort of ethnicity. Perhaps they were just numerically interspersed among the native Libyan and Liby-Phoenician contigents?
