Septimius Severus was born at Leptis Magna in today's Libya. He represented the new emerging North-African class who had little ties with Rome, that's why he was very popular in Numidia.

"Jugurtha (160-104 BC) was both valiant in war and wise in counsel, a combination most difficult to achieve: for most often wisdom through caution leads to timorousness, and valour through boldness to rashness"
