The narrative focuses on the conflict between Jugurtha, the king of Numidia, and Rome, intertwining themes of power, corruption, and the moral decay of the Roman elite. Sallust, a prominent Roman historian, aims to unveil the tumultuous dynamics of politics and warfare during a pivotal time in Roman history. The opening of "Jugurtha" introduces the context of Jugurtha's rise to power, detailing the complex political landscape of Numidia and Rome. It discusses the background of the Numidian kings, particularly focusing on Micipsa, who seeks to navigate the treacherous waters of loyalty and rivalry among his potential heirs and allies. As tensions escalate, Jugurtha, initially favored and raised alongside Micipsa’s children, begins to plot his ascendance as he faces challenges from his rivals. The beginning sets the stage for a gripping tale of betrayal, intrigue, and the struggle for dominance, emphasizing the values of ambition, loyalty, and the corrupting influence of power.
