We continue our series on the Jugurthine War which saw the armies of the late Roman Republic attempt to take on the Kingdom of Numidia. In this episode we follow the escalation of tensions as wave after wave of legions are sent to Africa. However one after the other their commanders are turned aside by the brilliant political and military moves of Jugurtha. This culminates in the battle of Suthul whose betrayal and ambush would echoe the later battle of Teutoburg Forest.
