He was initially an ally of Carthage, and fought with them in Spain and Africa, but became disillusioned and switched to the Roman side, his cavalry being decisive in Scipio's defeat of Hannibal at Zama, which ended the Second Punic War. After that he became king of Numidia and, as a Roman ally, was used clandestinely by Rome (which had a peace treaty with Carthage) to provoke and harrass Carthage. Eventually the Carthaginians responded in force to defend themselves, and this gave Rome the excuse, that Carthage was attacking a Roman ally, to open the Third Punic War and destroy Carthage utterly.

The underlying cause was the determination of Rome to dispose of the threat which it percieved from Carthage, against which it had already won two wars. The official cause was violation of the peace treaty from the Second Punic War which made the Roman Senate arbitrator of all border disputes involving Carthage, so that Carthage had to get approval from the Roman Senate before going to war. Rome then used its ally Numidia as proxy to harrass Carthage, which eventually had to defend itself. This gave Rome a valid excuse to declare war and destroy Carthage, extablishing Rome as undisputed power in the western Mediterranean. Rate This Answer
