The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Much of what is known about Masinissa comes from Livy's History of Rome, and to a lesser extent Cicero's Scipio's Dream.
- As the son of a Numidian chieftain allied to Carthage, he fought against the Romans in the Second Punic War, but later switched sides upon concluding that Rome would prevail.
- With the support of his erstwhile enemy, he united the eastern and western Numidian tribes and founded the Kingdom of Numidia.
