Sorry to bother everyone with this, but my last Latin lesson was in 1980. Can someone please translate this?

Thanks for reading.

hmmmm.....I'm not expert, but could this have been referring to King Juba of numidia? Just asking because I see "iubas" and "nigro" on the same phrase...I can recognize "agmen" as an army on the march...and "latratu*s*que as barking(and order) at?....but it's all I can barely recognize. I'm just going by intuition.

Several translations have already been proposed in the Classis-soldier thread.
