In the years preceding Marius, there was an increasing popular movement for the redistribution of land from the wealthy aristocracy to the urban poor. An accidental skirmish between Roman camp servants, getting water, and bathing Ambrones turned into a spontaneous battle between Marius's army and the Ambrones. Les difficultés vinrent en fait de ses alliés, les populares, en particulier le tribun de la plèbe Lucius Appuleius Saturninus et Caius Servilius Glaucia, qui, pendant que leur chef combattait au nord, firent régner la terreur à Rome en faisant, notamment, assassiner tous ceux qui tentèrent de se présenter contre eux au tribunat et au consulat. Together they led their men against the Numidian infantry who occupied a hill. Les deux hommes marchèrent sur Rome. Instead of baggage trains, Marius had his troops carry all their weapons, blankets, clothes, and rations. No longer would only mobs clash in the streets of Rome. Nombre d'auteurs classiques, comme Valère Maxime, se demandent s'il faut attribuer à cette anecdote l'origine de l'ambition sans bornes du personnage. Aidez-nous à localiser la tombe de Marius en nous envoyant l'adresse du lieu où se trouve sa sépulture (cimétière...). However, seeing that opposition was impossible, Marius decided to travel to the east in 98 BC, ostensibly to fulfill a vow he had made to the goddess Bona Dea. 71 ans Il pouvait sans difficulté imposer ses décisions au Sénat et faire voter des lois agraires en faveur de ses vétérans. [82] Marius seems to have been able to get exactly what he wanted, and it even seems that his support determined whom the people would elect as his colleagues (his choice was apparently determined, on several occasions, on the basis of their malleability: only Catulus in 102 BC, and Flaccus in 100 BC, would have been serious candidates in their own right without his support, and even Flaccus was described as more servant than partner in the office). [138], During the Social War, one of Marius's clients and friends, Manius Aquillius, had apparently encouraged the kingdoms of Nicomedia and Bithynia to invade Pontus. *FREE* shipping on eligible orders. On peut penser que ces événements inspirèrent Marius, qui se fit élire tribun de la plèbe en 119 av.

J.-C., lorsque Marius s'appuya sur le peuple pour concentrer entre ses mains la majorité des honneurs et des pouvoirs. That title was his chip, as it made him feel like an outsider in Rome. L'acte était d'une illégalité sans précédent (depuis Remus, aucun Romain n'avait osé franchir en armes les limites tracées par Romulus), bien que l'objectif de Sylla fût justement de rétablir la légalité. It is possible, however, that Marius never ran for the quaestorship at all, jumping directly to plebeian tribune. While Cinna had sworn an oath not to kill anyone, Marius and his soldiers had not. Examples of this are the extortion and treason courts set up by Saturninus and Gaius Mamilius's. Against a background of disasters, Marius achieved a position in political life in Rome (108-99 BC) which had not been witnessed before. [81] He established a base around the town of Aquae Sextiae and trained his men. [146] Marius was defeated and fled Rome. Caius Marius recurse, pentru a-şi menţine si chiar spori popularitatea, la o reformă care schimbă fundamental principiul înrolării în armată. Il mourut la même année le 17 janvier 86 av. [164], The Marian reforms to the logistics and organisation of the Roman armies were profound, increasing the speed and agility of the military to react to foreign threats. [85] The premature closure of the tribunal due to local pressure caused unrest and ignited an uprising that would consume the island until 100 BC.[86]. [63] In 107 the consul Lucius Cassius Longinus was completely defeated by the Tigurini, and the senior surviving officer (one Gaius Popillius, son of the consul of 132) had saved what was left only by surrendering half the baggage and suffering the humiliation of having his army "march under the yoke". Il est connu pour avoir drastiquement réformé l'armée romaine, en permettant le recrutement de citoyens qui n'étaient pas propriétaires terriens et en restructurant les légions en plusieurs cohortes. Seeking to use them, and with precedent for waiving the property requirements during the existential crisis that was the Second Punic War, Marius was exempted from the requirements. [61] Marius then marched east to winter quarters in Cirta. Although his family was likely an important local family, he was not part of Rome's elite. With growing political pressure towards a quick and decisive victory over Jugurtha, Marius was elected consul for 107 BC,[52] campaigning against Metellus's apparent lack of swift action against Jugurtha, with Lucius Cassius Longinus as his colleague. The Romans relentlessly pursued them. The revolt was tangentially related to the Republic's attempts to raise more troops by appeasing the Italians by emancipating Italians who had been enslaved for failure to pay tax. Sylla, qui avait déjà recruté son armée, fit semblant d'accepter. [92] The surviving Ambrones and the Teutones, bent on revenge, eagerly awaited the upcoming confrontation and when the Romans finally showed themselves on the Aquae Sextiae plain they charged uphill. He assured his men that since the barbarians would be charging uphill their footing would be unsure and they would be vulnerable. Mais Marius ne put tirer pleine gloire de cette victoire, car c'est son questeur, Lucius Cornelius Sulla, qui, après des tractations diplomatiques, captura Jugurtha. 157 av. [168] In the late 120s BC, Gaius Gracchus passed a lex Sempronia de provinciis consularibus which required that commands be assigned before the election of consuls. J.-C., pour les uns, par suicide, pour d'autres d'un excès de vin. [13], In the ancient narratives, his reforms to the recruitment process for the Roman legions are roundly criticised for creating a soldiery wholly loyal to their generals and beholden to their beneficence of ability to secure payment from the state. On a beaucoup insisté sur les origines plébéiennes de Marius, « homme inculte » (selon Cicéron) que « personne ne connaissait ». Apparently, the Ambrones had camped apart from the Teutones. [121][122] In 95 BC, Marius also successfully acted as sole defence for T. Matrinius, an Italian from Spoletium who had been granted Roman citizenship by Marius and who was now accused under the terms of the Lex Licinia Mucia. He had instructed his legionaries to stand their ground on the hill, launch javelins, draw their swords, guard themselves with their shields and thrust the enemy back. On dit que Marius donna cette disposition aux deux corps de son armée, parce qu'il espérait tomber, avec ses deux ailes, sur les [165] However, this development did not emerge from Marius. Il épousa Julia Caesaris, tante de Jules César. It was other politicians, this work argues, that emulated or even exceeded a dangerous precedent Marius had set. [57] With more troops mustering in southern Italy, Marius sailed for Africa, leaving his cavalry in the hands of his newly elected quaestor, Lucius Cornelius Sulla. After gaining control of the hill Marius and Metellus led their men against the rear of the Numidian cavalry. The Ambrones and Teutones were now being attacked on two fronts and confusion set in, they broke ranks and started to flee, but there was no haven to be found for most of them. [67], Since Marius held the imperium and Sulla was acting as his subordinate, the honour of capturing Jugurtha belonged strictly to Marius. Four days after slaughtering the Ambrones, Marius marched his army onto the plain and took position on the high ground. Marius, Caius mâr´ēəs , c.157 BC–86 BC, Roman general. [57], Marius found that ending the war was more difficult than he had claimed. [151], Marius along with his son then returned from exile in Africa to Etruria with an army he had raised there and placed themselves under consul Cinna's command to oust Octavius. [131] Following this, Marius took command of and regrouped Lupus's army. Gaius Marius was born in the city of Arpinum in Italy. Marius's overall concern, for his part, was always how to maintain the Senate's esteem: in the words of the scholar A.N. [165] Marius's recruitment reforms simply made plain what had been for some time commonplace,[165] out of need for men or simply the expediency of calling up urban volunteers rather than conscripting farmers. [163] Marius's legacy is heavily defined by his example: his five successive consulships, while seen contemporaneously as necessary for the survival of Roman civilisation, gave unprecedented power into the hands of a single man over a never-before-seen length of time. There is also the possibility that when his command lapsed at the end of 90 BC the government simply did not renew it or they may have offered him a face-saving deal: retire and claim infirmities. At a time when power tended to be restricted to a clique of influential families, he rose from relatively humble origins to attain the top office of consul. In all likelihood, this experience rekindled his desire for further commands and glory, embarking on a path towards seeking command in the east. Trois ans plus tard, Marius part en Afrique combattre Jugurtha aux côtés de son patron Quintus Caecilius Metellus Numidicus, le consul de 109 av.

Cependant, suite aux réformes des frères Gracques (pas encore annulées), les tribunaux étaient contrôlés par les chevaliers (le rang équestre, le rang juste en dessous du sénat), ce qui a pu jouer un rôle dans la décision finale d'innocenter Marius. [165] In later years, use of plebiscita became the main means by which commands were granted (or stolen) from other generals, adding to personal rivalries and diminishing the ability to govern the state. [22], According to Plutarch, against the wishes of his patrons, he pushed through a law that restricted the interference of the wealthy in elections. [118], However, scholars have pointed out that Marius's supposed 'humiliation' cannot have been too long-lasting. [30] Marius, however, was able to win acquittal on this charge,[30] and spent an uneventful year as praetor in Rome,[29] likely as either praetor peregrinus or as president of the corruption court. After election, he likely served Quintus Caecilius Metellus Balearicus on the Balearic Islands helping him win a triumph. Il fut rejoint par Marius, à la tête d'une cavalerie maure recrutée en Afrique.

While the Gracchi had tried to restore the smallholders who would constitute the majority of those qualified to serve, their land legislation did little to alleviate the growing manpower shortage that gave rise to that legislation. Metellus's family arranged for thronging crowds to greet his ship and induced the Senate to vote Metellus a triumph and the agnomen Numidicus. The Senate prorogued Metellus's command in Numidia,[54] thereby preventing Marius from assuming command. Romain, né en de l'an -157 av.

[74] While his election was not unprecedented, as Quintus Fabius Maximus had been elected for consecutive consulships[75] and it was not unheard of for consuls to be elected in absentia, it certainly was not with recent precedent. [129] After having dealt with a raiding legion of Marsi at Varnia, Caepio attempted to give Marius instructions, but Marius ignored them. Caepio's routed men crashed into Mallius's troops, which led to both armies being pinned against the River Rhône and annihilated by the numerically dominant Cimbrian warriors.[72]. On comprend mieux dès lors pourquoi les auteurs classiques comme Plutarque ou Salluste ont autant insisté sur l'aspect révolutionnaire du personnage, l'accusant d'être à l'origine de la chute de la République.
