Musa Ibn Nusayr
Musa ibn Nusayr ( ar, موسى بن نصير ''Mūsá bin Nuṣayr''; 640 – c. 716) served as a Umayyad governor and an Arab general under the Umayyad caliph Al-Walid I. He ruled over the Muslim provinces of North Africa (Ifriqiya), and directed the Islamic conquest of the Visigothic Kingdom in Hispania (Spain, Portugal, Andorra and part of France). Background Various suggestions have been made as to his ancestry. Some say his father belonged to the Lakhmid clan of semi-nomads who lived east of the Euphrates and were allies of the Sassanians, while others claim he belonged to the Banu Bakr confederation.

Quintus Pomponius Musa
Quintus Pomponius Musa was a magistrate, moneyer and banker during the Republican Period in Rome, around 66 BC. He was a member of the Pomponia gens. According to the National Museum of Scotland, moneyers commissioned designs, which often referred to famous ancestors, associations to favourite cults, or, as here, puns on their names. Musa created ten coin designs: one design for each of the nine Muses, a play on Musa's name; and one coin featuring the image of Hercules with the inscription ''HERCULES MUSARUM'' (Hercules of the Muses). All ten designs depict the specific muse on the reverse, while featuring the image of Apollo on the obverse; Apollo presided over the Muses. When Hercules is represented, he is called ''Hercules Musarum'', or ''Musageta'', that is, "The leader of the Muses." He was known by this name in Greece, and later in Rome, when his statue and those of the nine Muses were brought from Greece, and the temple erected there for their reception. On other coins of ...

Mírzá Músá
Mírzá Músá ( fa, ; d. 1887) was the only full brother of Baháʼu'lláh, meaning that they shared the same mother and father. He was later named by Shoghi Effendi as one of the nineteen Apostles of Baháʼu'lláh. The life of Mírzá Músá was so bound up with that of Baháʼu'lláh himself, that his life and background mirror the life and travels of Baháʼu'lláh. He was an integral part of correspondence between Baháʼu'lláh and the Baháʼís. He experienced the same imprisonment, exile, assaults, and degrading circumstances that were given to the small band of family members associated with Baháʼu'lláh and ʻAbdu'l-Bahá. Mírzá Músá remained a loyal and faithful follower until he died. Baháʼu'lláh used Mírzá Músá as an example to show his respect for the law. When an official expressed hesitation to inflict punishment on one of the followers of Baháʼu'lláh who had committed a crime, he replied: :"Tell him, no one in this world can claim any rel ...
