__NOTOC__
Year '''113 BC''' was a year of the [[Roman calendar|pre-Julian Roman calendar]]. At the time it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Caprarius and Carbo''' (or, less frequently, '''year 641 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]''''') and the '''Fourth Year of Yuanding'''. The denomination 113 BC for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the [[Anno Domini]] [[calendar era]] became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.

* [[Battle of Noreia]]: The [[Cimbri]] and [[Teutones]] cross the [[Danube]] and enter the lands of the [[Celts|Celtic]] tribe, the [[Taurisci]] (centered in what is now [[Austria]] and north-eastern [[Italy]]). The latter sent emissaries to [[Ancient Rome|Rome]], seeking help in dealing with the migration. The [[Roman Senate|Senate]] sends consul [[Gnaeus Papirius Carbo (consul 113 BC)|Gnaeus Papirius Carbo]] across the [[Julian Alps]], to deal with the migration at the head of an army (some 30,000 men). He offers guides to escort them out of the territory of the Taurisci. The guides are instructed to lead the tribes to the town of [[Noreia]], where Carbo sets an ambush. The Cimbri manage to discover Carbo's plan, they turn the tables and defeat the Romans during an ambush. Carbo manages to escape with the remnants of his consular army (some 6,000 men) during a heavy thunderstorm. Later, he is indicted by the Senate for losing the battle, but escapes conviction by committing suicide.<ref>Duncan, Mike (2017). ''The Storm before the Storm'', p. 103.
