NUMIDIA
Numidia, a vast and rugged land, stretched across the sun-baked plains and Atlas Mountains of North Africa. Its people, the Numidians, were fierce warriors, renowned for their horsemanship.
Among the Numidian tribes, Masinissa, a cunning and ambitious leader, rose to power. He saw opportunity in the conflict between Rome and Carthage, and shrewdly aligned himself with the Romans. With their combined might, they defeated the Carthaginians and Masinissa was rewarded with a vast kingdom.
However, peace was short-lived. Masinissa's grandson, Jugurtha, a man of ruthless ambition, seized the throne and challenged Roman dominance in the region. A bitter war ensued, known as the Jugurthine War, which tested the might of Rome.
It was only through the cunning of the Roman general Marius that Jugurtha was finally captured and brought to Rome as a captive.
