Jubartha was a chieftain of Numidia. He took up arms when Roman forces invaded the village, but the town fell and he was captured.
History[]
When the boy Lucius Verus arrives in Numidia, Jubartha takes him in under the alias Hanno and treats him like a son. He raises him as a warrior and gives him a home. Many years later, he helps to organize the Numidian forces when Rome invades, but the defense is ultimately unsuccessful and he is captured along with the others.
As the captured Numidians are taken to Rome upon a barge, Jubartha and Lucius talk with each other. They express gratitude to each other, but Jubartha admits that they are being taken somewhere that they will likely not survive. They are placed in the Colosseum, where vicious monkeys are set to attack them. Lucius is able to fight them off, earning himself a role as a Gladiator, but Jubartha succumbs to the attack.
