Syphax was a king of the ancient Numidian tribe Masaesyli of western Numidia during the last quarter of the 3rd century British Columbia. His story is told in Livy"s Ab Urbe Condita (written c 27-25 British Columbia). When in 218 British Columbia, war broke out between Carthage and Rome, Syphax was initially sympathetic to the Romans. In 213 British Columbia, he concluded an alliance with the Romans and they sent military advisers to help Syphax train his troops.
