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.
