The Kingdom of Altava was an independent Berber Christian kingdom centered in the ancient province of Mauretania Caesariensis, located in present-day northern Algeria and Morocco. It was ruled by kings like Masuna (508), Mastigas (535-540), Garmul (560s-579), and Caecilius (680-690).

The Kingdom of Altava existed in the Tamazgha from the 4th century AD until the death of the King Caecilius in 690 AD. It was originally known as the Mauro-Roman kingdom.

King Masuna was among the more important Altava rulers. He was described in an inscription from his capital Altava (modern Ouled Mimoun, Tlemcen) dated to 508 AD as a king of Berbers and Romans.

The Western kingdom more distant from the Vandal kingdom was the one of Altava, a city located at the borders of Mauretania Tingitana and Caesariensis....It is clear that the Mauro-Roman kingdom of Altava was fully inside the Western Latin world, not only because of location but mainly because it adopted the military-religious-sociocultural-administrative organization of the Roman Empire...

Mention is also made of his officials including Masguinus the prefect of Safar, Maximus the procurator of Altava and lider the procurator of Castra Severiana.

Caecilius/Kusaila (Aksil, meaning the "leopard" in Berber), was the last ruler of the Altava kingdom. He died in the year 690 AD fighting the Umayyad Caliphate. Caecilius was a 7th-century Berber Christian king of this kingdom of Altava and leader of the Berber Awraba tribe and possibly Christian head of the Sanhaja confederation.
