    Baetis River, 80 BC

    During Sulla's Dictatorship after the victory over the forces of Marius, Quintus Sertorius became
    the only surviving commander of note in opposition to the Sullan regime. Spain became a
    battleground for nearly a decade where he outfought, outmaneuvered, and outwitted a succession
    of Roman generals before being betrayed by his own subordinates.
    While in Mauretania, Sertorius was approached by Lusitanian emissaries. The Lusitanians were
    chafing under Sulla's harsh rule, and offered to submit themselves to Sertorius as their leader
    with absolute authority. Sertorius landed in Southern Spain, not far from Gibraltar. Legate Lucius
    Fufidius hastily gathered what forces he could and moved to cut Sertorius off at the Baetis River,
    to prevent Sertorius from reaching Lusitania. Despite being outnumbered, Sertorius
    outmaneuvered and routed Fufidius.
