At Numidae, saepe antea vineis Romanorum subvorsis, item incensis, non castelli moenibus sese tutabantur, sed pro muro dies noctisque agitare, male dicere Romanis ac Mario vecordiam obiectare, militibus nostris Iugurthae servitium minari, secundis rebus feroces esse.
But the Numidians, since previously they had often overturned the Romans mantlets and set fire to them, were not protecting themselves within the fortress walls, but they operated day and night in front of the walls, insulting the Romans, taunting Marius with being a lunatic, threatening our soldiers with slavery at the hands of Jugurtha, and being bold as a result of their successes.
