Marius has just defeated the first half of the Grand Alliance army in southern Gaul. As he is celebrating his victory he receives word. He has been reelected as consul and the Cimbri have broken through the Alps and are threatening the city of Rome itself. The Roman Republic hangs in the balance as the Cimbri flood into Northern Italy and the Roman army quakes in fear behind the Po River. For the first time in over a century, a 'barbarian' army has control of the Alps and can conquer Rome. Will Marius have enough time to unite the Roman armies or will Cimbri march in and sack Rome? Join in as we discuss the final battle of the Cimbri wars and a point in history that decided the fate of western civilization as we know it.
