Historical background
JUNIA
(149 BC)
This year is marked by the beginning of the third and last Punic war. Utica joins the Roman alliance with Masinissa, king of Numidia, who also dies that year. Cato, the great or the censor, the one who had so many times wished for the destruction of Carthage, dies before seeing his wish come true. L. Marcius Censorinus and M. Manilius are consuls.
