Bocchus I, king of Mauretania, was the father-in-law of Jugurtha, with whom he made war against the Romans. In 108 BC, he vacillated between Jugurtha and the Romans, and joined Jugurtha only on his promising him the third part of his kingdom. The two kings defeated the Romans. Bocchus again made overtures to the Romans, and had an interview with Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix, aka Sulla, a Roman general and statesman. He was a skillful general, achieving numerous successes in wars against different opponents, both foreign and Roman.
