Namque haud longe a flumine Muluccha, quod Iugurthae Bocchique regnum diiungebat, erat inter ceteram planitiem mons saxeus mediocri castello satis patens, in inmensum editus, uno perangusto aditu relicto; nam omnis natura velut opere atque consulto praeceps.
For you see, not far from the river Muluccha, which separated the realms of Jugurtha and Bocchus, there was in the midst of an otherwise flat expanse a rocky hill, broad enough for a fortress of moderate size, and soaring to a great height with the exception of one very narrow approach; for the whole place was naturally steep, as if it had been made so by art and design.
