The latter sent emissaries to Rome, seeking help in dealing with the migration. The Senate sends consul Gnaeus Papirius Carbo across the Julian Alps, to deal with the migration at the head of an army (some 30,000 men).

The Cimbri manage to discover Carbo's plan, they turn the tables and defeat the Romans during an ambush.
