 Battle of Arausio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
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.
Caepio took such exception that he camped his army on the opposite side of the river.
Caepio, presumably motivated into action by the thought that Maximus may be successful in negotiations and claim all the credit for a successful outcome, launched a unilateral attack on the camp on October 6.

In 105, Caepio suffered a crushing defeat from the Cimbri at Arausio (Orange) on the Rhone, which was looked upon as a punishment for his sacrilege; hence the proverb Aurum Tolosanum habet, of an act involving disastrous consequences.
In the same year he was deprived of his proconsulship and his property confiscated; subsequently (the chronology is obscure, see Mommsen, History of Rome, bk.

However, the proconsul Caepio did not respect the consul commanding the other force; Gnaeus Mallius Maximus was a new man - not part of the established elite of Roman political life.
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.
However, Caepio's force was annihilated due to the hasty nature of the assault and the tenacity of Cimbri defence.

 Appian's History of Rome: The Spanish Wars
Quintus was unable to render them aid by reason of his timidity and inexperience, but went into winter quarters at Corduba in the middle of autumn, and frequently sent Gaius Marcius, a Spaniard from the city of Italica, against him.
Caepio, brother of the Servilianus who had concluded it, and his successor in the command, complained of the treaty, and wrote home that it was most unworthy of the dignity of the Roman people.
When war was publicly declared, Caepio took the town of Arsa, which Viriathus abandoned, and followed Viriathus himself (who fled and destroyed everything in his path) as far as Carpetania, the Roman forces being much stronger than his.

 Marcus Junius Brutus
Marcus Junius Brutus (85 BC — 42 BC), or Quintus Servilius Caepio Brutus, was a Roman senator of the late Roman Republic.
Some sources refer to the possibility of Caesar being his real father, but this is unlikely since Caesar was fifteen years old at the time of Brutus' birth and the affair with his mother started some ten years later.
Brutus' uncle Quintus Servilius Caepio adopted him when he was a young man and Brutus was known as Q. Servilius Caepio Brutus for an unknown period of time.

Another one of those men was Quintus Sertorius, the last Marian general who successfully repelled every commander sent against him in Spain for almost 12 years.
Quintus Sertorius was a Sabine knight (equites) and a rather stoic man who tended to follow the path of moderation.
While fighting the Teutones and Cimbri under Caepio, he was severly wounded, lost an eye, and still had enough strength to swim across the Rhone with his armor on.

 [No title]
I think the 80,000 casualty count is significantly exaggerated, but I think Caepio is the reason why we disagree on the number of Consular armies.
There was only one Consular army at Arausio in the proper sense, although if the praetorium of Caepio's army was not lost at Noreia then, technically speaking, his army would still exist (no matter how few men it contained), thus possibly accounting for the "second" army mentioned by some scholars.
Hence, Caepio was not the one leading Roman forces at Noreia.

Lucius Quintus Sertorius was born the scion of a noble Sabine family in the city of Nursia.

However, Caepio, due to his prejudice against Mallius, refused to cooperate with him or even to let their armies camp together.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1999.05.18
In "Notes on a Membrum Disiectum," S. Butler investigates an entry from the Prodigiorum Liber, a catalogue of events that were recognized and expiated as prodigies by Rome from 190 to 11 BCE.
One prodigy reads, "A slave of Quintus Servilius Caepio castrated himself in honor of the Idaean Mother and was shipped away across the sea, that he might never return to Rome." (Obsequens 44a).
Butler presents five notes on the separate words and phrases of which the slave's record is composed in order to discover if the entry is from a slave or only an official communication as it appeared on the parent record (tabula dealbata).
