Gaius Marius and the Cimbri Ambassadors,2nd Century BC

The Cimbrian War (113-101 BC) was fought between the Roman Republic and the Germanic and Celtic tribes of the Cimbri and the Teutones, Ambrones and Tigurini. The timing of the war had a great effect on the internal politics of Rome, and the organization of its military. The war contributed greatly to the political career of Gaius Marius (157 BC - 86 BC), whose consulships and political conflicts challenged many of the Roman Republic's political institutions and customs of the time. The Cimbrian threat, along with the Jugurthine War, inspired the landmark Marian reforms of the Roman legions. Plutarch's Lives for Boys and Girls, 1900 (cropped and cleaned).
