The Battle of Suthul was one of the confrontations of the Jugurthine War. The battle was fought in 110 BC between the Numidian army, led by King Jugurtha, and the Roman forces, led by Aulus Postumius Albinus. The consul Spurius Postumius Albinus invaded Numidia, but left to prepare for the elections in Rome. His brother, Aulus Postumius Albinus, took command of the army, but Jugurtha lured the Romans into a trap siege near the town of Suthul, inflicting a humiliating defeat upon them.
