Illustrated by Carlos de la Rocha.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Marius's life spans a period in which the old republic struggled to adapt to the new realities brought about by its rule over the oikumene, a period that inaugurated a long century of anguish that would ultimately, painfully, give rise to the principality under one Octavian, Augustus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Source: Tom Hendrickson, Michael J. Taylor, \"Memoirs, Monuments, and Bryography - The Memoir of Gaius Marius\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Gaius Marius narrated his autobiography with bones. He left the Aquae Sextiae extermination camps littered with thousands of unburied bones of Germanic men, women, and children, but he didn't leave a memoir written in pen and ink. It wasn't necessary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Subject: Christopher Matthew, 'Marius's Mules: Rome's New Mobile Infantry'. Illustrated by Sebastian Schulz.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe reforms implemented in the Roman army by General Gaius Marius in the late 2nd century BC drastically changed the way Rome's legions were recruited, equipped, organized, and operated. The greatest logistical transformation of the Roman army resulting from Marius's reforms was in the size of the baggage train that accompanied a legion on the march and the amount of equipment each legionary carried.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Recreating Marius Milites topic: Jean-Luc Féraud, 'Recreating Marius 'Milites'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Archaeological evidence from the first half of the 1st century BC is scant, especially compared to the relative wealth of material from the early imperial era. Using a combination of single finds, evidence from earlier periods such as Numancia (153–133 BC), and pictorial evidence, we can arrive at the best possible reconstruction in keeping with the current academic status quo.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eSubject: Sean Hussmann, 'The Rise of a 'New Man'. Noble Rivalry and the Career of Gaius Marius\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Politics is—almost by definition—a vicious business. While this is true in the times we live in, it is even more so in the conditions of late Republican Rome, where aspiring politicians relentlessly advanced their own careers while attacking their opponents at every opportunity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Subject: P. Lindsay Powell, 'The Final Confrontation of the Cimbri and the Romans'. Illustrated by Carlos de la Rocha and Igor Dzis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Having established at the Battle of Aquae Sextiae in 102 BC that the feared German-Celtic Teutons and Ambrones could be defeated, the Roman consul Gaius Marius prepared the following year for a final showdown with his alliance partners, the Cimbri.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Subject: Paul McDonnell-Staff, 'The Peg That Would Break - Marius and the Pilum: A Roman Myth'\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003ePlutarch's anecdote about Marius converting the pilum, written two centuries later, along with several others in Roman literature, is often cited to support the proposition that the pilum was designed to bend upon impact. This disabled the enemy's shield and also ensured that the enemy could not return the weapon. However, the evidence does not support this hypothesis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Subject: Duncan B. Campbell, \"A Succession of Victories: Marius and the War with Jugurtha.\" Illustrated by Angel Garcia Pinto. Climbing the Mountain Fortress - Artwork by Angel Garcia Pinto.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Marius's rise to prominence in Rome was based on his victories in Africa during the Jugurtine War. In total, Marius held the consulship seven times, an unprecedented feat. But the foundations for his success had been laid in Africa, during a war of victories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Characteristics\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eHellenistic Tigris Helmet Special: Michael Schmitz, \"Skill with Weapons - Professionalism in the Army of Alexander the Great.\" Illustrated by Johnny Shumate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e No tool will make a man a skilled worker or a master of defense, nor will it be of use to someone who has not learned to handle them and has never paid attention to them. How, then, will someone who wields a shield or other tool of war become a good fighter in one day, whether with heavy troops or any other kind? Alexander the Great's forces were a good example of the above ideal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The debate: Murray Dahm, 'Tank, Terrorist Weapon or Battle Taxi: The Role of the Tank on the Battlefield'.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eProbably everyone has read or heard some version of the urban myth about how modern railway gauge specifications relate to the distance between the wheels of ancient wagons. For most people, the myth is entirely plausible, such is the power and fascination of the wagon. Whether from films like Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments, or even Gladiator, most people think they know what wagons are all about; how they were used and how effective they were. The truth is, they don't.\u003cbr\u003e At \u003cstrong\u003eTienda Medieval,\u003c\/strong\u003e we have thousands of medieval and other period products.
