Nubel was a Berber king and Roman military leader in mid-fourth century. He is still generally identified by many modern scholars with the Romanized official and Christianized of African origin Flavio Nuvel that second inscription found in Rusguniae (current Tamentfoust, Algeria), Mauretania Caesariensis, served as provost of junior armed horsemen (praepositus equitum armigerorum iuniorum); this association was challenged in the 1970s by the authors of Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire.

According to Ammianus Nubel fathered numerous children, some from relations with concubines. He had seven children: six sons and a daughter. Among his children are known by name Firmus, Sammac, Mascezel, Gildo, Mazuca and Dius and he had a daughter Cyria. Two sons, Firmus and Dius bore Roman names like their grandfather, Saturninus. But Sammac, Mascezel, Gildo, Mazuca and bore Berber ones.
