- The Germanic migrations changed the course of Western history, as the invaders replaced or transformed the Roman empire. The invasion of the Kimbrian and Teutonic tribes from overpopulated, hungry Jutland (peninsular Denmark) in 120 BC involved some 100,000 people, plundering through Germany and absorbing other destitute Germanic populations. Next they followed the Danube plain south to Thrace and west to Italy, even overcoming a Roman consul's army at Noreia (in Carinthia) in 113 BC, the Furor Teutonicus. Biometric reconstruction confirms they were a head taller then Romans. Ten years they plundered Gaul and Spain, until Roman general Marius exterminated their hordes in 101 BC.
