Following the destruction of Carthage, the kingdom of Numidia became the most important state in East Africa, containing many flourishing cities that were centres of considerable trade. Masinissa, a faithful Roman ally since the Punic Wars, left this kingdom to his son Micipsa, who had two sons and a nephew, Jugurtha, a brilliant and ambitious young man who had served under Scipio in the Spanish-Numantine War and who returned to Africa showered with honours. With his intimate knowledge of Roman military tactics and his many friendly contacts in Rome and its Senate, Jugurtha was in a prime position to seize power and to rebel against Rome, but Gaius Marius and Lucius Cornelius Sulla would not allow it. — Voiced and edited by: Denis Ztoupas (Forgotten Heroes) ✔ VIDEO CHAPTERS 0:00 Jugurtha’s Rebellion 5:20 Battle of Mutul River 10:30 The war rages on 13:00 Gaius Marius appears 15:30 Gaius Marius takes command 17:18 Battle of Cirta 23:23 Second Battle of Cirta 24:30 End of the War ????
