    Default Ancient Battlefields

    Off and on for the last five years I've been associated with a project designed to relocate battlefields. What information can be gleamed about the actual location of the EB period battlefields? For example near the center of the linked map provided below is the approximate location of the so-called Battle of Arausio; Cimbri vs Rome 105 BC.

    This looking from the west side of the Rhone towards the battlefield.

    This is again from the Rhone Crossing looking east towards the battlefield.

    Finally, from the direction of Orange looking south towards the battlefield and beyond the low hills which lay before the Rhone Crossing.
