Battle of Arausio: The Cimbri inflict a major defeat on the Roman army of Mallius Maximus. The Battle of Arausio took place on October 6, 105 BC, at a site between the town of Arausio and the Rhone River. Ranged against the migratory tribes of the Cimbri under Boiorix and the Teutoni were two Roman armies, commanded by the proconsul Quintus Servilius Caepio and consul Gnaeus Manlius Maximus. However, bitter differences between the commanders prevented the Roman armies from cooperating with devastating results. Roman losses are quoted at up to 80,000 troops, and many more servants and camp followers (total loss estimated at about 112,000 men). The terrible defeat gave Gaius Marius the opportunity to come to the fore and radically reform the organisation and recruitment of Roman legions.
