🏛️ Career

  1. 102 BCE
    (aged 47)
    Consul · Co-consul: C. Marius

    Broughton: In this year Marius at last met the Teutoni and the Ambrones and exterminated them in two battles near Aquae Sextiae. He then was reelected Consul in absence, and refused to celebrate the triumph voted him, but proceeded to join his colleague Catulus against the Cimbri (Elogium, above; a). The latter meantime held command in Italy against the Cimbri, and either because of defeat in a preliminary skirmish or the fears of his soldiers was forced to retreat beyond the Po from fortified positions on the Adige (b).
