C. E.)  \nGaius Marius was at this time forty-eight years old. Two-thirds of his life were over, and a name which was to sound throughout the world and be remembered through all ages, had as yet been scarcely heard of beyond the army and the political clubs in Rome.  \n1. How old was Gaius Marius when he began to enter the public eye?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nGaius Marius was born at Arpinum, a Latin township, seventy miles from the capital, in the year 157 B. C. E. His father was a small farmer, and he was himself bred to the plow. Gaius Marius joined the army early, and soon attracted notice by his punctual discharge of his duties.  \nIn a time of growing looseness, Marius was strict himself in keeping discipline and in enforcing it as he rose in the service. He was in Spain when Jugurtha was there, and made himself especially useful to Scipio.  \n2. In what township was Gaius Marius born?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nMarius forced his way steadily upward, by his mere soldier-like qualities, to the rank of military tribune. Rome, too, had learnt to know him, for he was chosen tribune of the people the year after the murder of Gaius Gracchus. Being a self-made man, he belonged naturally to the popular party (the Populares) . While in office he gave offense in some way to the men in power, and was called before the Senate to answer for himself. But he had the right on his side, it is likely, for they found him stubborn and impertinent, and they could make nothing of their charges against him. He was not bidding at this time, however, for the support of the mob. He had the integrity and sense to oppose the largesse of corn. He forfeited his popularity by trying to close the public granaries before the practice had passed into a system. He  \nseemed as if made of a block of hard Roman oak, gnarled and knotted, but sound in all its fibers.  \n3. To what political party did Gaius Marius belong?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nGaius Marius’ professional merit continued to recommend him. At the age of forty he became prætor, and was sent to Spain, where he left a mark again by the successful severity by which he cleared the province of banditti (bandits) . He was a man neither given himself to talking, nor much talked about in the world. But he was sought for wherever work was to be done, and he had made himself respected and valued in high circles. After his return from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain) he had married into one of the most distinguished of the patrician families.  \n4. What public office did Marius enter at age forty?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nMarius by this marriage became a person of social consideration. His father had been a client of the Metelli. Cæcilius Metellus, who must have known Marius by reputation and probably in person, invited him to go as second in command in the African campaign. Marius was moderately successful. Towns were taken, battles were won: Metellus was incorruptible, and the Numidians sued for peace. But Jugurtha wanted terms, and the consul demanded unconditional surrender. Jugurtha withdrew into the desert and the war dragged on. Marius, perhaps ambitious, perhaps impatient at the general's want of vigor, began to think that he could make quicker work of it.  \n5. Why did the war with Jugurtha drag on?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nThe popular party was stirring again in Rome, the Senate having so notoriously disgraced itself. There was just irritation that a petty African  \nprince could defy the whole power of Rome for so many years. Though a democratic consul had been unheard of for a century, the name of Marius began to be spoken of as a possible candidate. Marius consented to stand. The law required that he must be present in person at the election, and he applied to his commander for leave of absence. Metellus laughed at his pretensions, and bade him wait another twenty years.
