| | Masinissa - Rome's Most Faithful Client King |
 | | Masinissa has been called an "agent of civilization" by some historians because of his efforts to raise his Numidian countrymen beyond their semi-nomadic existence. | | | Masinissa also took part in the night attack on the camps of Hasdrubal Gisco and Syphax in the spring of 203, which may well have been his idea. | | | Bucar surprised Masinissa's camp, scattered most of his followers, hounded the survivors across Carthaginian territory, finally cornering the Numidian and his 50 remaining men near the town of Clupea. |

| | And as an additional boon, Masinissa begged, if he was not asking too much, that they would release the Numidian prisoners who were under guard in Rome; that, he considered, would increase his prestige with his subjects. | | | There were not more than 5000 killed, and in the storming of the camp, whither the mass of troops had fled after losing their king, less than half that number were made prisoners. | | | However, broken and ruined as he was, he had this to console him in his misery - that pestilential fury had entered the household of his bitterest foe. |
