A gripping illustrated narrative of the Cimbrian (or Cimbric) War,
in which the armies of the Roman Republic finally defeated the
Germanic tribes of the Cimbri, Teutons, Ambrons and Tigurini.
Rome's victory in the Cimbrian War was born of a number of huge and
devastating defeats at the hands of the Germanic tribes (chiefly
the Cimbri and Teutones), who had migrated en masse southwards in
the late 2nd century BC. These included the defeat in 113 BC of the
consul Cnaeus Papirius Carbo at Noreia; the smashing of Marcus
Iunius Silanus’ army near Burdigala (Bourdeaux) in 109 BC, and
the humiliating destruction of two consular armies at Arausio
(Orange) four years later. This work explores how, in the autumn of
105 BC, Caius Marius managed to contain the Germanic threat in the
north, before crushing it in two successful battles, at Aquae
Sextiae (Aix-en-Provence) in Gallia Transalpina in 102 BC and at
Vercellae (Vercelli) in Gallia Cisalpina in 101 BC. Packed with
stunning illustrations covering the major clashes of this epic and
drawn-out war of the late Republic, this work brings to life for
the first time Rome's vital quashing of the Germanic threat to its
very existence. It also documents the rise of Marius, one of
Rome’s most important martial figures, who was highly significant
in the transformation of its armed forces.
