I thought, Jughurtha died in prison, 7 days in dungeon.

I feel it significant to note that this article seems to be written entirely (or almost entirely) from Sallust's "The Jugurthine War." While this is not necessarily a bad thing, as this is one of the most complete histories of the war that we have, I think it is important to realize that most of the information in this article comes from a single source and carries with it that source's not-so-thinly-veiled biases. A major changing of the article is perhaps unnecessary, but a disclaimer of sorts could be helpful.

-More importantly, maybe, I feel that this article is simply not very well written. It is rather unsophisticated in its approach and language, and simply doesn't read very well. I may attempt to fix the language somewhat without actually changing any of the information soon if I can find the time.
