Battle of Vercellae - Definition


By summer the Cimbri have decided to move on and assemble their horde near the town of Vercellae. Here they are brought to battle by Marius, Sulla and Catulus Caesar. The Romans win a decisive victory and the few Cimbri that survive flee over the Alps.

This second victory brings the Cimbric Wars effectively to an end and raise Marius to the status of a hero in Rome.
