EK in the year 108


In the year 108 BC Roman forces under Caecilius Metellus defeat the forces of Jugurtha of Numidia at the Battle of the Muthul, with Marius as a subordinate.

Also, The Korean kingdom of Gojoseon falls.

And, The Battle of Loulan (樓蘭之戰) in the 108 BC, marks the earliest Chinese military exploration into Central Asia, after a conflicting of Loulan and Jushi with the Han Dynasty and a switch to the Xiongnu.

And, guess what? Emirates Airlines flew the world.
