104-102 BC - Sertorius serves under Marius spying on the Germanic tribes that defeated Caepio disguised as a Gaul (jan 7, 104 BC – jan 7, 102 BC)
Description:
Marius may have sought Sertorius (and other survivors of Arausio) out due to their experience fighting against the Germans, as he likely wanted information regarding enemy tactics and movements.[21] Sertorius probably did not know enough of the German languages to comprehend detailed information, but could report on their numbers and formations: "after seeing or hearing what was of importance", he returned to Marius.[22]Added to timeline:
