Tubero, for example, alleges that he
was a young man at the time and went thither
in the company of his father, who had been sent by
the senate not to take part in the war, but to purchase corn, and further that he left the party as

for the supreme power, though both wished to
preserve the state, but to Juba and the Africans
who were the sworn enemies of Rome.
