Battle of Arausio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (870 words)
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 Mallius Maximus.
Scaurus was not humbled by his capture and advised Boiorix to turn back before his people were destroyed by the Roman forces.
Caepio, presumably motivated into action by the thought that Maximus might be successful in negotiations and claim all the credit for a successful outcome, launched a unilateral attack on the Cimbri camp on October 6.
