  Aquae - LoveToKnow 1911
Only two occur in Britain: Aquae Sulis - less correctly Aquae Solis - at Bath in Somerset, which was famous, and Buxton (called Aquae simply), which seems to have been far less important.
Aquae Sulis was occupied by the Romans almost as soon as they entered the island in A.D. 43, and flourished till the end of the Roman period.
It was frequented by soldiers quartered in Britain, by the Britons, and by visitors from north Gaul, and its name was known in Italy, though patients probably seldom travelled so far.

 Véronique's Story
The province where Aquae Sextiae is located has been variously known from 121 B.C. as Gallia Transalpina, Gallia Narbonensis, or simply Provincia.
It is ironic that my slave status resulted from my family's resistance to Marius while that of my master was from his family's alliance with the same man. In 102 B.C. Marius defeated the Teutones at Aquae Sextiae, and my grandmother was brought to Rome among the prisoners for his triumph.
A research project at the University of South Dakota focuses on the geography, native population, conquest, economy, and other aspects of the Provinciae Imperii Romani.

 Hampden Latin
The first test for Marius was against the Teutoni at the Gallic town of Aquae Sextiae, located in southern Gaul close to the Mediterranean.
After Marius defeated the two German hordes at Aquae Sextiae and Vercellae he returned to Rome and was hailed as the third founder of Rome (the first two being Romulus, the actual (mythical) founder of Rome, and Camillus, the man who saved Rome from the Gauls in 390 BC).
The old man who had been the hero of Aquae Sextiae and Vercellae and had reformed the army would still have a part to play in the death throes of the Republic.

The Teutones, who were striving to gain the coast road, marching down the banks of the Rhone reached the district of Aquae Sextiae, followed by the Romans.
The light Ligurian troops of the Romans, as they were drawing water, here came into collision with the Celtic rear-guard, the Ambrones; the conflict soon became general; after a hot struggle the Romans conquered and pursued the retreating enemy up to their waggon-stronghold.
When the Cimbri, however, pushed forward in dense masses from the mountains, a panic seized the Roman army, and legionaries and horsemen ran off, the latter straight for the capital, the former to the nearest height which seemed to afford security.

To top them all, before Marius finally crushed the Cimbri at Aquae Sextiae, at Aurasio in 105 BC the Romans lost perhaps some 80,000 men.
While the numbers seem ridiculous (losing a couple hundred thousand men in a few short years), there is no argument about the outcome of the battles.
Maybe it truly was the genius of Marius (as well as Sulla at Vercellae), including tactics, training and discipline, (along with the cavalry ambush Marius set at Aquae Sextiae) and not physical superiority that is really whats important.
