The crisis caused by the migrations of the Germanic Cimbri and Teutons was a major factor securing power for Gaius Marius. After several successive and enourmous defeats at the hands of the Cimbri, the Romans looked to Marius to stabilize matter. That's exactly what he did, at least in military terms, as he served 5 continuous consulships between 104 and 100 BC.
