118-117 BC - Jugurtha visits Rome for second time Micipsa’s Death (jul 24, 118 BC – jul 24, 117 BC)

Description:

After the death of his adoptive father, King Micipsa of Numidia, Jugurtha traveled to Rome to seek recognition of his claim to the throne, despite having murdered his rival heirs (Hiempsal and Adherbal). The Senate divided Numidia between Jugurtha and Adherbal, but Jugurtha later seized full control.
