	Battle of Arausio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ranged against the migratory tribes of the Cimbri under Boiorix and the Teutoni were two Roman armies, commanded by the proconsul Quintus Servilius Caepio and consul Gnaeus Mallius Maximus.
		Scaurus was not humbled by his capture and advised Boiorix to turn back before his people were destroyed by the Roman forces.
		Caepio, presumably motivated into action by the thought that Maximus might be successful in negotiations and claim all the credit for a successful outcome, launched a unilateral attack on the Cimbri camp on October 6.

		Boiorix had a son only a year older than Getorix, a son who shared his father’s name as well as following in his footsteps as a warrior.
		The great Boiorix had fallen heroically in battle and so escaped this ordeal, and must even now be enjoying his glory in the Otherworld.
		The wolf’s head that was Boiorix’s symbol, long-tusked boar, lion, horse, and Claodicos’ bull’s head were depicted in bronze and wood, hung now with banners in bright fabrics.

		Boiorix, king of the Cimbri, even sent messengers to Marius asking him to set aside lands for themselves and for their brethren, the Teutones and Ambrones, so that they might have a place to live.
		"They have the land that we have given them, and will keep it for ever." When Boiorix's embassy still refused to believe it, and threatened to punish Marius for his lies, the consul had Teutobokh and the other captive giants brought before their eyes, bound in chains.
