In 44 BC , probably shortly before or after the assassination of Caesar , Arabio returned to Africa at the urging of Gnaeus Pompeius ' son , Sextus Pompeius . From Africa , he sent men back to Hispania for military training . He reclaimed his father 's kingdom with relative ease , forcing Bocchus into exile , and then contrived to assassinate Sittius through a stratagem . News of his conquests had reached Rome by 14 June 44 , when Cicero mentions it in a letter to Atticus . His success is sometimes attributed to the Roman training of the forces he had brought with him back to Africa , but is more likely due to the allegiance of the population to one of their own
