 When Papius brought forward Oxynta, a son of the former king of Numidia, Jugurtha, many of Caesar’s Numidian troops switched sides, Caesar having to send away the rest to prevent further desertion.When Papius attacked Caesar’s fortified camp Caesar charged out through another gate with his cavalry, falling on the exposed rebel force, he killed 6,000 men, a large portion of the enemy force.This was the first Roman victory of the Social War but was probably pyrrhic in nature.
