Battle of Arausio Battle of Arausio The Battle of Arausio took place on 6 October 105 BC, at a site between the town of Arausio (modern day Orange, Vaucluse) and the Rhône River. Ranged against the migratory tribes of the Cimbri under Boiorix and the Teutoni under Teutobod were two Roman armies, commanded by the proconsul Quintus Servilius Caepio and consul Gnaeus Mallius Maximus. However, bitter differences between the commanders prevented the Roman armies from cooperating, with devastating results.

Comparison of Afrikaans and Dutch languages, a member of a council or councillor is "raadslid". Whereas Dutch uses an apostrophe with an "s" as in English to form the genitive, or alternatively an "s" without an apostrophe, Afrikaans uses "se", hence "Maria's huis" and "haar broers probleem" would be "Maria se huis" and "haar broer se probleem" respectively. Afrikaans, like Dutch, has possessive pronouns to indicate ownership, hence "joune" and "jouwe", although Afrikaans omits the use of the definite article, hence "is dit jou glas of syne?" ("is that your glass or his?") in contrast to "is dat jouw glas of het zijne?" in Dutch.
