  • In 112 BC, Jugurtha, the adoptive son of the Numidian King Micipsa, usurped the Kingdom's throne. Numidia had been a loyal client state to the Roman Republic. The Republic could not let this coup go unanswered. The subsequent Jugurthine War became an epic conflict, seeing the rise of several great Roman military commanders such as Gaius Marius and Lucius Cornelius Sulla.

    Discipline and military experience in Roman army were the game changer. I THINK Jugurtha knew there was no way to defeat Rome, but chose to stand up and fight with whatever he's got that's why he offered third of his kingdom to Mauretania

    Jugurtha gained Medals in Spain under Scipio and was a commander of Roman forces for the Empire. He was good friends with Scipios faction in Rome which explains why half of the Senate supported Jugurtha. Not because he Bribed them like Sullust says. Sullust was a Propagandist for the Marcian govt. A Numidian king doesn't have enough money to bribe Rome. That's plainly ridiculous.

    This war and the Social War really revealed just how broken the Republic had become. Since the end of the First Punic War, the Romans had conducted themselves like every other empire, but the total corruption and hypocrisy in this war and against their own allies set up the arrogance and greed displayed for 50 years thereafter until only one major player remained. Augustus stood on the shoulders of an ambitious body that almost destroyed itself.

    It is absolutely amazing how many Roman battles looked hopeless for them, only for Roman discipline to make the difference by preventing rout long enough for the Roman general to take the initiative in a few decisive minutes once the opponent's organization or supply chain failed.

    "History is written by the victors, who will always be the judge, and the vanquished the accused”, which is most cruelly unfair. The Romans went on and completely destroyed almost everything related to the Punic civilization that of or the ancient Berbers; the Mauretanian (+/-Morocco), the Numedian (+/- Algeria)and the Carthaginian )+/- Tunisia) which is a shame because we will never know their version of the same events, such as how much was made up, and how much was wiped out by the Romans, unfortunately.

Getting immunity, bribing, and doing some assassination on the way. After killing important Romans. Reminds me of Mithridates kind of.

    Jugurthine was not the man who challenged Rome for years, he was the man who brought Rome for years, laughing at the hypocrisy of the Roman political system, just as a pleb at that time would, just like a civilian of our time would at our own political system. Still, what he did was relying too much on said hypocrisy for far too long. He should have known, a bride doesn't pay everyone, and if he wish to pay bride, he has to pay everyone. Therefore, what had come to undo him is an army of people demanding for payment.

  • @Smiktozo-213
    @Smiktozo-213 Рік тому

    You missed some details while you layed the grounds for the story. Like, you could have mentioned how Jugurtha sent the Romans of Albinus under the Yoke and humiliated Rome. It's actually the turning point. There were other details like a third cousin, Massiva, son of the Numidian general, Gulussa, he was another claimant to the throne who Jugurtha eventually assassinated, also in Rome. Besides, Micipsa left a long will which you didn't read.
    The Mapping is cool but the script is lacking from a Numidian point of view.

    Sallust wasnt honest at all. He is making people think that rome was undefeatable, if boccus didnt betray jugurtha, the war would have continued for a long time. Rome promised the land to boccus to betray jugurtha, after he did, they kicked his ass. It's not strange, the betrayal was always coming from morocco.

      The Germanic tribes could raise 200,000 men in Arausio, i don't see how Numidians couldn't raise 90,000 men.
      But you're probably right, in reality Jugurtha must have had only 40,000 men, equal to Marius and Sulla's troops and the battle ended in a heavy skirmish with high losses on both sides.
