Teutonic Invasion


Rumour rides atop the Northwind
bringing word to Roman ears
two new foes has arisen
to fill Roman hearts with fears

The Teutons and the Cimbri
from beyond the Alps have come
vowing not to halt their journey
til conquest of Rome is won

Rome does choose Gaius Marius
a man of humble birth
who thru military exploits
has proved to Rome his worth

The Invaders delay their coming
to plunder Spain and Gaul
Giving Marius much needed time
to strategize their downfall
