In 105 BC, two Germanian tribes, the Teutones and the Cimbri, defeated a huge Roman army at Arausio - apparently, some 80,000 Roman and Italian soldiers died. In terms of losses, this battle is regarded as the worst defeat in the history of ancient Rome, surpassing the Battle of Cannae. While Arausio was a massive defeat and did result in some political upheval, it resulted in few notable long term events and the tribes we're never able or willing to exploit the victory. In 104 BC, a new Consul will lead the recovery of Rome... Gaius Marius.
