Carthage did not defeat Numidia. When she raised an army to defend herself, she was defeated by the Numidians. Then the Romans declared war and destroyed Carthage.

Why did rome attack to start the third punic war?

Carthage defended itself against attacks by Roman ally Numidia. The terms of peace treaty after Carthage's loss in the Second Punic War required border disputes ito be referred to Rome and get Roman approval to use war to resolve them. Rome resolved such appeals in favour of Numidia, so Carthage defended itself, which Rome interpreted as a breach of the treaty and took the opportunity to attack and impose a 'final solution' to the problem of Carthaginian distraction from its current main aim of expansion in the Eastern Mediterranean.


Where did the third punic war happen at?

The Western Mediterranean. Tunisia. Carthage was being repeatedly attacked by Numidia (in Algeria) a client state of Rome. When she finished paying her war indemnity, Carthage fought against the Numidians. Rome was worried about Carthage's renewed military power and anti-Roman agitations in Spain and Greece.

The Romans landed in Tunisia, besieged the city, breached its walls and burned it to the ground.

Was Masinissa a Roman puppet vassal king?

The term was Client King - he accepted Rome's hegemony, and paid tribute to Rome. 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.
