Editing Cimbri (section)

===Migration===
Some time before 100 BC many of the Cimbri, as well as the [[Teutons]] and [[Ambrones]], migrated south-east. After several unsuccessful battles with the [[Boii]] and other [[Celtic tribes]], they appeared {{circa}} 113 BC in [[Noricum]], where they invaded the lands of one of Rome's allies, the [[Taurisci]].

On the request of the Roman [[consul]] [[Gnaeus Papirius Carbo (consul 113 BC)|Gnaeus Papirius Carbo]], sent to defend the Taurisci, they retreated, only to find themselves deceived and attacked at the [[Battle of Noreia]], where they defeated the Romans.<ref>{{cite EB1911|wstitle=Cimbri|volume=6|page=368|first=Frederick George Meeson |last=Beck}}</ref> Only a storm, which separated the combatants, saved the Roman forces from complete annihilation.
