Wikipedia "Battle of Noreia" --same crew from the
Danube, here in Noricum
The Battle of Noreia in 112 BC, was the opening action
of the Cimbrian War fought between the Roman Republic
and the migrating Proto-Germanic tribes the Cimbri and
the Teutons (Teutones). It ended in defeat, and near
disaster, for the Romans.
The Cimbri and Teutones left their home lands around
the Baltic sea in the Jutland peninsula and Southern
Scandinavia. They travelled southeast and encountered
the Scordisci with whom they fought. Following their
victory over the latter, they arrived at the Danube in
Noricum (113 BC) which was home to the Taurisci,
allies with Rome. Unable to repel these new invaders,
the Taurisci appealed to Rome for assistance. The
consul Gnaeus Papirius Carbo responded the following
year, leading the legions into Noricum, where he took
up a position on the heights near Aquileia 1.
