Gaia (Numidian: GYY)[1][2] (died 207 BCE) was a Berber king of the Massylii,[3] an eastern Numidian tribe in North Africa.
Gaia reigned during the Second Punic War of ancient Rome. He was the father of King Masinissa,[4] and the brother of Oezalces.[5]
Greco-Roman authors give his name as "Gala", but an inscription in Dougga indicates it may have instead been "Gaia".[6]
