Initial combat at the Battle of Noreia in modern day Slovenia during the Cimbrian or Cimbric War (113–101 BC)It was fought between the Roman Republic and the Celtic or Germanic tribes of the Cimbri and the Teutones that migrated from the Jutland peninsula into Roman controlled territory, and clashed with Rome and her allies. Rome was finally victorious and the war contributed greatly to the political career of Gaius Marius, whose consulships and political conflicts challenged many of the Roman republic's political institutions and customs of the time.

The war contributed greatly to the political career of Gaius Marius, whose consulships and political conflicts challenged many of the Roman republic's political institutions and customs of the time. Rome was finally victorious, and its Germanic adversaries — who had inflicted on the Roman armies the heaviest losses that they had suffered since the Second Punic War with victories at the battles of Arausio and Noreia — were left almost completely annihilated.
