Hi everyone.

Welcome to another episode of Ancient Warfare Answers with me Murray, your weekly fix of ancient warfare related ranting and raving and musing by me,

generally in response to someone's question about something that perplexes them on ancient warfare.

What I do here indeed is that I answer questions.

You can ask a question.

You can send an email, a postcard.

You can comment on a previous video podcast.

They will wind their way to me somehow.

And of course, you can back us on Patreon, one of three different levels,

Legionary Optio and Centurion. Now, today's question's kind of three, and I believe I've already answered a question from this person without actually bringing up who they are, all their prefaces. So I'm going to go through all their prefaces. So I'm going to go through all their prefaces. Hi, Peter. I've already answered a question, if not two of yours, without reading all of these.

So there's three different entries that he's got.

So he's clearly keen on an answer on this particular question about the Battle of Arousio in 105 BC between the Kimbre and the Chutonais against the Roman army in on the Rhone at Arousio,

which is now Orange, or Orange. I'm not sure. Orange, of course, is a town in Australia called

Orange. Anyway, I digress. So Peter says, thank you for your fantastic podcast. My pleasure.

I drive two hours each way for work, and they make that trip much, that much shorter.

I have been a long-time subscriber to the physical magazine.

Thank you again.

Second, recently, I have been discussing the battle question mark of Araccio in 105 BC with a wargaming buddy.

There are some interesting questions that I'd be interested in your opinions on.

Next entry.

Was Araccio a failure of Roman arms or a failure of Roman politics that just happened to end in a massacre?

Also, if Kypio and Malleus had cooperated, was Arousio still unwinnable?
