[edit] Livius Periochae 66
106 BC
When Jugurtha, expelled from Numidia by Caius Marius, received help of Bocchus, king of the Maurians, Bocchus' troops were slaughtered in battle and Bocchus no longer wanted to continue the war he had so unfortunately undertaken. He threw Jugurtha in chains and handed him over to Marius; in this affair, the main actor was Lucius Cornelius Sulla, the quaestor of Caius Marius.
[edit] Fazio degli Uberti Dittamondo Book 1, Chapter XXIX, verses 10-13
E fenno contro a me, per viver libri, 10
insieme compagnia Giugurta e Bocco,
come tu puoi veder per molti libri.
And Jugurtha and Bocchus associated against me,
In order to live free,
As you can read on many books.
It seems that here Rome is speaking.
