Plutarch’s information about this duel is fragmentary and does not allow us to fully clarify the circumstances under which it took place. In part, they are clarified by the archaeological data obtained by A. Schulten during excavations in the area of ancient Numantia. After analyzing the sources and literature, the author came to the conclusion that the episode with the duel became for Marius the starting point in his military career, from which his rise began. According to the author, in fact, the notorious duel could have been an ordinary skirmish, but later Marian propaganda turned it into a heroic deed of Marius, a brilliant military leader and an experienced «father commander». The author does not exclude the possibility that Plutarch himself became the culprit of the confusion, who did not distinguish between an individual duel and participation in a collective hand-to-hand combat.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Поединок Гая Мария с кельтибером - один из героических эпизодов ранней биографии будущего семикратного консула и полководца. Сведения Плутарха об этом поединке отрывочны и не позволяют в полной мере прояснить те обстоятельства, при которых он произошел. Отчасти их проясняют археологические данные, полученные А. Шультеном в ходе раскопок в районе древней Нуманции. Проанализировав источники и литературу, автор пришел к выводу, что эпизод с поединком стал для Мария отправной точкой в его военной карьере, с которой началось его возвышение. По мнению автора, на самом деле пресловутый поединок мог быть заурядной стычкой, однако позднейшая марианская пропаганда превратила его в геройский подвиг Мария - блестящего военачальника и опытного «отца-командира». Автор не исключает, что виновником путаницы стал сам Плутарх, не отличавший индивидуальный поединок от участия в коллективной рукопашной схватке.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Numantia</kwd><kwd>tribunus militum</kwd><kwd>equites</kwd><kwd>dona militaria</kwd><kwd>phalera</kwd><kwd>hasta pura</kwd><kwd>corona</kwd><kwd>primipilus</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Нуманция</kwd><kwd>военный трибун</kwd><kwd>всадники</kwd><kwd>военные награды и отличия</kwd><kwd>фалера</kwd><kwd>наградное копье с серебряным наконечником</kwd><kwd>венок</kwd><kwd>примипил</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Allen S., Penroz D.
