Ierna
Aṭlas: new, to be continued
'''Ierna''' (d. 547) was a [[Berbers|Berber]] tribal leader of the [[Laguatan]] and also high priest of the god [[Gurzil]] who was active in the [[praetorian prefecture of Africa]] during the Moorish Wars of the mid-sixth century. Apparently he led the Laguatan at the [[Battle of Cillium|Battle of Cilium]] in 544, when the Byzantine governor [[Solomon (Byzantine general)|Solomon]] was killed and many Byzantine soldiers were captured.
In the winter of 546/547, he served as second-in-command in the army of [[Antalas]], another tribal leader in revolt. He fought in the battle that caused the Berber defeat before the troops of [[John Troglita]]. This defeat near Suffetula at the beginning of 547 resulted in: the submission of Antalas, the fleeing of Ierna with the image of Gurzil, being later captured and killed, and the image destroyed.<ref>G. Camps, « Antalas », ''Encyclopédie berbère, 5 | Anacutas – Anti-Atlas'', Aix-en-Provence, Edisud, 1988, p. 706-708</ref> Carcasan succeeded him in power.
