108 BCE

The consul Quintus Caecilius Metellus is sent to North Africa to defeat Jugurtha.

Metellus is honest and able as a commander but is buying time in order to maximize his glory when he does actually defeat Jugurtha.

His successful war plan is to destroy Jugurtha's supply lines and this forces Jugurtha to guerilla tactics.
