This article is about the Roman metrician. For the king of Numidia, see
Juba I. For the king of Mauretania, see
Juba II.
Juba was a writer who lived at the end of the 2nd century or in the 3rd century CE.[1][2] He wrote a now-lost treatise on
metric, based on
Heliodorus and used by later
grammarians. He was previously identified with
Juba II, the king of Mauretania, but this interpretation is now rejected on chronological ground.[1][2][3]
