This was part of a campaign about the Cimbri I created many years ago. It is just a short scenario.
History:
The Cimbri were an ancient Germanic tribe who inhabited the Jutland Peninsula in modern-day Denmark. They were a warlike people who were feared and respected by their neighbors, and they became known for their raids and invasions throughout Europe during the second century BC. However, at some point during this time, the Cimbri left their homeland and began a journey that would take them across the continent and change the course of European history.
The exact reasons for the Cimbri's departure from their homeland are not known with certainty, but there are several theories. One possibility is that they were driven out by other tribes or groups who were encroaching on their territory. Another theory suggests that they were simply looking for new lands to conquer and settle in. It is also possible that they were experiencing environmental or economic pressures, such as drought or famine, that made it difficult to sustain their population in their homeland.
Regardless of the reasons, the Cimbri set out from Jutland and began a journey that would take them through modern-day Germany, France, and Italy. Along the way, they encountered and defeated several Roman armies, causing panic and chaos in Rome. The Cimbri were eventually defeated by the Roman general Gaius Marius in 101 BC at the Battle of Vercellae in northern Italy, but their impact on European history was significant.
The Cimbri's migration was part of a larger movement of Germanic tribes throughout Europe during this time period. These migrations were driven by a variety of factors, including population pressures, resource depletion, and the desire for new lands and opportunities. The movement of these tribes had a profound impact on European history, as they eventually became the dominant cultural and political force on the continent.
