Jugurthine War

The Jugurthine War (122-105 BC) was fought between the Roman Republic and Jugurtha, the renegade king of the African client state of Numidia. Rome's practical need to expand and solidify its dominance over North Africa overlays the war's role as an extension of the struggle between increasingly contentious factions within the Roman government itself.
