Years: 113BCE - 113BCE
The longsword-wielding Cimbri had left their original lands around the Baltic sea in the Jutland peninsula and Southern Scandinavia for unknown reasons (possibly due to climate change), sometime around 120–115 BCE.
Journeying to the southeast, they were soon joined by their neighbors and possible relatives the Teutones.
Together they had defeated the Scordisci, along with the Boii, many of whom have apparently joined them.
They arrive in 113 BCE on the Danube, in Noricum, home to the Roman-allied Taurisci, who, unable to hold back these new, powerful invaders on their own, call on Rome for aid.
