		Bocchus was rewarded for his treachery by an alliance with Rome, and he was even allowed to dedicate in the Capitol statues of Victory and golden images of Jugurtha representing him in the act of being delivered up to Sulla.
		If this is true, it can only be accounted for by the supposition, that Bocchus was induced by jealousy of his brother Bogud to desert the cause of Caesar and join the enemy; for all we know of the two brothers shews that the good understanding between them had ceased.
		During the civil war between Antony and Octavianus, Bocchus sided with the latter, while Bogud was in alliance with Antony.

	The Jugurthine War by Gaius Crispus Sallust Ch. 77-114
		Bocchus, moreover, had previously married a daughter of Jugurtha, though this tie is held of slight importance among Numidians and Mauritanians, inasmuch as everyone has as many wives as he can afford, some ten, some more, and the kings a proportionately greater number.
		Bocchus rode off immediately, but Jugurtha, in his eagerness to uphold his men and to cling to the victory he had so nearly won, was hemmed in by the cavalry, and when all, both to his right and left, had been cut down, eluded the enemy's javelins and broke alone through their midst.
		Bocchus had proved this Dabar's loyalty to the Romans on many occasions, and therefore chose him to convey a message to Sulla announcing that he was ready to do whatever the Roman people wished.

		It was chiefly owing to the influence which Sulla had acquired over the mind of Bocchus, that the latter, after much hesitation, was eventually persuaded to sacrifice his ally.
		In addition to this Marius and Sulla were both anxious to obtain the command of the impending war against Mithridates ; and the success which attended Sulla's recent operations in the East had increased his popularity, and pointed him out as the most suitable person for this important command.
		About this time Bocchus erected in the Capitol gilded figures, representing the surrender of Jugurtha to Sulla, at which Marius was so enraged that he could scarcely be prevented from removing them by force.

		During the African war they invaded Numidia and conquered Cirta, the capital of the kingdom of Juba, who was thus obliged to abandon the idea of joining Metellus Scipio against Caesar.
		At the end of the war, Caesar bestowed upon Bocchus part of the territory of Massinissa, Juba's ally, which was recovered after Caesar's murder by Massinissa's son Arabion.
		Dio Cassius says that Bocchus sent his sons to support Sextus Pompeius in Spain, while Bogud fought on the side of Caesar, and there is no doubt that after Caesar's death Bocchus supported Octavian, and Bogud Antony.

	The Internet Classics Archive \| Sylla by Plutarch
		Bocchus had long hated and dreaded his son-in-law, Jugurtha, who had now been worsted in the field and had fled to him for shelter; and it so happened he was at this time entertaining a design to betray him.
		Bocchus, having both of them now in his power, was necessitated to betray one or other, and after long debate with himself, at last resolved on his first design, and gave up Jugurtha into the hands of Sylla.
		This touched Marius to the quick; however, judging Sylla to be beneath his rivalry, he made use of him as lieutenant, in his second consulship, and in his third as tribune; and many considerable services were effected by his means.

		After this battle the sly Bocchus, who was not officially at war with Rome, decided to betray Jugurtha, who was his kinsman, to the Romans, thereby winning their gratitude.
		Half way through he was met by Volux, the son of Bocchus, and the two factions moved on together until, one morning Volux delivered news that Jugurtha was standing before them with a large force.
		Bocchus, now having both Sulla and Jugurtha in his power, hesitated whom to give up; in the end, however, his sympathies towards the brave Roman prevailed, and Sulla received the rebellious king, whom he brought safely to Marius.

	Increased Prominence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		After Sulla's election to the office of quaestor, Gaius Marius, who would later become Sulla greatest rival, gave the novice politician his start up the Roman political ladder: Marius chose Sulla to be his queastor for the campaign against Jugurtha of Numidia.
		Sulla quickly displayed the military talent which allowed him not only to rise to be Marius' ranking lieutenant, as well as the diplomatic talent which allowed him to personally negotiate with King Bocchus of Mauretania.
		He and Bocchus arranged for the surrender of Jugurtha, the king's son-in-law.

	Appian's Roman History: The Numidian War
		To them Bocchus said that he fought against the Romans on account of the acts of Marius, who had taken from him the territory which he himself had taken from Jugurtha.
		Accordingly, when Bocchus was inclined to betray Jugurtha he sent messengers around to the neighboring Ethiopians (who extend from eastern Ethiopia westward to the Mauritanian Mount Atlas) under pretense of raising a new army, and then asked Marius to send Sulla to him for a conference, and Marius did so.
		In this way Bocchus himself, and his friend Magdalses, and a certain freedman of Carthage, named Cornelius, deceived Apsar, the friend of Jugurtha, who had been left in Bocchus' camp to keep watch on his doings.

	Ammianus, Theodosius and Sallust's Jugurtha
		It was almost entirely the result of Sulla's diplomacy and the betrayal of Jugurtha by Bocchus.
		It is Sulla who forces the crucial development in the negotiations, telling Bocchus bluntly that the only way he can earn the trust and friendship of Rome is to hand over Jugurtha (BJ 111.1ff.).
		The obvious counterpart to Bocchus in Ammianus' narrative is Igmazen, but there is no equivalent of Sulla: Theodosius does his own negotiating.

		King Bocchus was not unwilling to return to his old ambiguous position: without dissolving his agreement with Jugurtha or dismissing him, he entered into negotiations with the Roman general respecting the terms of an alliance with Rome.
		He boldly departed under the guidance of Volux the son of king Bocchus, nor did his resolution waver even when his guide led him through the midst of Jugurtha's camp.
		He rejected the pusillanimous proposals of flight that came from his attendants, and marched, with the king's son at his side, uninjured through the enemy.

	The Baldwin Project: The Story of Rome by Mary Macgregor
		So when Bocchus again sent to ask Marius to enter into negotiations with him, the Consul agreed to do so, and sent Sulla and his legate Manlius to treat with him.
		But Bocchus himself was so treacherous that he distrusted other people, and after hearing from the Consul's officers what he was willing to do, he dismissed them.
		However, that may be, Bocchus now determined to cast in his fortune with Rome, and to betray Jugurtha to his enemies.

	The Baldwin Project: Our Young Folks' Plutarch by Rosalie Kaufman
		Jugurtha, who was son-in-law to Bocchus, had taken refuge at his court after his defeat, but Bocchus both hated and feared him, and was just turning over in his mind some means of getting rid of him when this affair with the robbers took place.
		For when Bocchus had two such powerful men in his power he began to debate with himself which should be the victim.
		These things, added to the fact that Bocchus dedicated several images of Victory in the Capitol, and close by them one of Jugurtha, in gold, representing his surrender to Sylla, caused the quarrel between Marius and Sylla to break out afresh.

		But to me it is well known that he was more troubled at the honor bestowed on Marius than at the injustice done to himself; and that he would have shown much less uneasiness if the province of which he was deprived had been given to any other than Marius.
		He observed what would be advantageous, or the contrary, to either party; he watched the movements of the kings, counteracted their intentions and stratagems, and allowed no remissness in his own army, and no security in that of the enemy.
		As to Bocchus, he had frequently sent messengers to Marius, saying that he desired the friendship of the Roman people, and that the consul need fear no act of hostility from him.

		War was resumed, and the Romans under Quintus Caecilius Metellus Numidicus gained some notable successes.
