Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Marcus Aurelius Scaurus was a Roman politician and general during the Cimbrian War. After one of the regularly elected consuls of the year died, Scaurus was made consul suffectus in 108 BC. In 105 BC he went as a senior legate with the consul Gnaeus Mallius Maximus to Gaul to battle the Cimbric invasion. Scaurus was ordered to construct a cavalry camp around 30 miles north of the consular camp. The Battle of Arausio was begun by the Cimbri and Teutones advancing on the cavalry camp, which provided little resistance. The Roman force was completely overwhelmed and the legate was captured and brought before the Cimbrian leader Boiorix. Scaurus was not humbled by his capture and advised Boiorix to turn back before his people were destroyed by the Roman forces.
