| ARTICLES RELATED TO Marian reforms | | | |  Marian reforms: Encyclopedia II - Marius - Early careerMarius was born ca. 157 BC in the town of Arpinum in southern Latium. The town had been conquered by the Romans in the late fourth century BC and was given Roman citizenship without voting rights. Only in 188 BC did the town receive full citizenship. Although Plutarch claims that Marius's father was a laborer, this is almost certainly false. The facts that Marius had connections with the nobility in Rome, that he ran for local office in Arpinum and that he had marriage relations with the local nobility in Arpinum all combine to indicate that ...

Roman Republic - The legendary founding of Rome — 753 BC.
The origins and early history of Rome are very uncertain. While there are quite specific accounts of Rome's orgins and early history, these tend to be of a more mythological nature, and do not stand up as objective history when subject to modern analysis. However, Roman origin myths probably do contain aspects of the truth, a ...

| | | | Marian reforms: Encyclopedia II - Roman Republic - Government institutions The first and most important institution of the Roman Republic was the Roman Senate. Inside the Senate there were two unofficial parties: the optimates and the populares. The Senate had major influence and prestige being composed by aristocratic and rich patricians and plebians. The great majority of the senators were former republican officials.
The Romans observed two principles for their officials: annuality, or the observation of a one-year term, and collegiality, or the holding of the same office by at least two men ...

| | | | Marian reforms: Encyclopedia II - Marius - Pontus and the First Civil War , 88-84 BC.
After the conclusion of the Social War, Mithradates of Pontus began his bid to conquer the eastern provinces and invaded Greece. In 88 BC, Sulla was elected consul. The choice before the Senate was to put either Marius or Sulla in command. Sulla was appointed by the Senate, however later Marius won appointment by the Assembly with the help of Publius Sulpicius Rufus. Sulla then snuck out of the city to his army waiting in Nola and led them against Rome. This was a monumentous event, and was likely unforseen by Mariu ...

| | | | Marian reforms: Encyclopedia II - Marius - Run for the Consulship By 108 BC, Marius conceived the desire to run for the Consulship. Seeking permission from Metellus to go to Rome to do so, he was urged to reconsider, and advised by Metellus to wait to run with Metellus's son (who was only twenty, which would signify a campaign twenty years in the future). Following this meeting, Marius spent the summer ingratiating himself with the troops by relaxing military discipline, and with the Italian traders by claiming that he could capture Jugurtha in a few days with half Metellus' troops. Both groups wrote home ...

| | | | Marian reforms: Encyclopedia II - Marius - Cimbri and Teutoni The arrival of the Cimbri in Gaul in 109 BC and their complete defeat of M. Junius Silanus had resulted in unrest among the Celtic tribes recently conquered by the Romans in southern Gaul. In 107 the Consul Lucius Cassius Longinus was completely defeated by a local tribe, and the senior surviving officer (C. Popillius Laenas, son of the consul of 132) had saved what was left only by surrendering half the baggage and suffering the humiliation of having his army "march under the yoke." The next year (106 BC) another Consul, Q. Servilius Caepio ...

| | | | Marian reforms: Encyclopedia II - Marius - Showdown with the Germans In 102 BC the Cimbri returned from Hispania into Gaul and together with the Teutoni decided to invade Italy. The Teutoni were to head south and advance toward Italy along the Mediterranean coast; the Cimbri were to attempt to cross the Alps into Italy from the northwest by the Brenner Pass; and the Tigurini (the allied Celtic tribe who had defeated Longinus in 107) were to cross the Alps from the northeast. This decision proved fatally flawed. The Germans divided their forces, making each contingent manageable, and the Romans could use their shorter lines o ...
