may 21, 106 BC - 106 BC - Romans send 8 legions, their largest army yet, under senior consul Quintus Servilius Caepio to end the Germanic threat

Description:

While the Romans were busy getting their army together, the Volcae Tectosages had quarrelled with their Germanic guests, and had asked them to leave the area. When Caepio arrived he only found the local tribes and they sensibly decided not to fight the newly arrived legions.
