Dean Journeagan hosts episode two of The History Pot on the Jugurthine War, a North African conflict in Numidia that helped spark rivalry between Gaius Marius and Lucius Cornelius Sulla. He outlines Numidia’s geography and its famed light cavalry, then traces the royal succession after Massinissa: Micipsa raises his nephew Jugurtha. Sensing a snake in the grass, he sends Juggurtha to war hopefully never to return! When he does return, he tries to contain His famous nephew by dividing the kingdom among Jugurtha and his sons Adherbal and Hiempsal. Jugurtha murders one and sends the other on the run. Acient family fued at it's worse! Consul Bestia arrives but accepts Jugurtha’s surrender and a sweetheart deal, leaving Jugurtha king; the episode ends with claimant Massiva courting future consul Albinus. Host Dean Jernigan.
