Tobias Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 I've been reading a book on Julius Caesar, and a number of times i came across references to "Aquiae Sextiae". Caesar and his commanders occassionally debated in a section of the book (during his Gallic Campaign), on finding suitable ground for an "Aquiae Sextiae" against the gauls. After a little research, i found that Gaius Marius defeated a huge army on a battlefield bearing the same name. I wonder if anyone could give me anymore in-depth details about the battle. As well, have there have been many other examples of an "Aquiae Sextiae" throughout Rome's histroy by other Roman Generals? If so, what?

Primus Pilus Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 I didn't go into great detail regarding the battle but attempted to give a good overview surrounding the politics of the situation.
