C. Julius Caesar, Gallic War, Book 8, chapter 0 (search)
Prevailed on by your continued solicitations, Balbus, I have engaged
in a most difficult task, as my daily refusals appear to plead not my inability,
but indolence, as an excuse. I have compiled a continuation of the Commentaries
of our Caesar's Wars in Gaul, not indeed to be compared
to his writings, which either precede or follow them; and recently, I have
completed what he left imperfect after the transactions in Alexandria , to the end,
not indeed of the civil broils, to which we see no issue, but of Caesar's life. I wish that those who may read them could
know how unwillingly I undertook to write them, as then I might the more readily
escape the imputation of folly and arrogance, in presuming to intrude among
Caesar's writings. For it is agreed on all hands,
that

All Gaul is divided into three parts, one of which the Belgae inhabit, the Aquitani
another, those who in their own language are called Celts, in our Gauls, the third. All these
differ from each other in language, customs and laws. The river Garonne separates the Gauls from the
Aquitani; the
Marne
and the
Seine
separate them side of the
Sequani and the Helvetii, upon the
river
Rhine
, and stretches toward the north. The Belgae rises from the
extreme frontier of Gaul, extend to the lower part
of the river
Rhine
; and look toward the north and the rising sun.
Aquitania

While Caesar was in winter quarters in Hither Gaul, as we have shown above, frequent reports were brought to him,
and he was also informed by letters from Labienus, that all the
Belgae, who we have said are a third part of Gaul, were entering into a confederacy against the Roman people, and giving hostages to one another; that
he confederacy were these-first, because they feared that, after
all [Celtic] Gaul was
subdued, our army would be led against them; secondly, because they were
[on the one hand] they had been unwilling that the Germans should remain any longer in Gaul, so [on the
other] they were dissatisfied that the army of the Roman people s ion; [the Belgae were instigated] by several,
also, because the government in Gaul was generally seized upon
by the more powerful persons and by those who had t

Caesar, expecting for many reasons a greater commotion
in Gaul, resolves to hold a levy by the means of M.
Silanus C. Antistius Reginus, and T.
Sextius, his lieutenants: at the same time he requested Cn.
Pompey, the proconsul, that since he was remaining near the city
invested with military command for the interests of the commonwealth, he would
command those men whom when consul [55 B.C.] he had
levied by the military oath in Cisalpine Gaul, to join
their respective corps, and to proceed to him; thinking it of great importance,
as far as regarded the opinion which the Gauls would
entertain for the future, that that the resources of Italy
should appear so great that if any loss should be sustained in war, not only
could it be

Gaul being tranquil, Caesar, as he had
determined, sets out for Italy to hold the
provincial assizes. There he receives intelligence of the death of
Clodius; and, being , begin to organize their plans for war more openly and daringly. The
leading men of Gaul, having convened councils
among themselves in the woods, and retired places, complain of the death of
Acco: they point out that this fate may fall in turn on
themselves: they bewail the unhappy fate of Gaul; and by every sort of
promises and rewards, they earnestly solicit some to begin the war, and assert
the freedom of Gaul at the hazard of their
lives. They say that special care should be paid to this, that Caesar should be cut off from his army before their secret plans
should be divulged.

Gaul being entirely reduced, when Caesar
having waged war incessantly during the former summer, wished to recruit his
soldiers after so much fatigue, by repose in winter quarters, news was brought
him that several states were simultaneously renewing their hostile intention,
and forming combinations. For which a probable reason was assigned; namely, that
the Gauls were convinced that they were not able to
resist the Romans, with any force they could collect
in one place; and hoped that if several states made war in different places at
the same time, the Roman army would neither have aid,
nor time, nor forces, to prosecute them all: nor ought any single state to
decline any inconveniences that might befall them, provided that by such delay,
the rest shoul

This action caused great perplexity to Caesar in the
selection of his plans; [he feared] lest, if he should confine his legions in
one place for the remaining portion of the winter, all Gaul should revolt
when the tributaries of the Aedui were subdued, because it would
appear that there was in him no protection for his friends; but if he should
draw them too soon out of their winter quarters, he might be distressed by the
want of provisions, in consequence of the difficulty of conveyance. It seemed
better, however, to endure every hardship than to alienate the affections of all
his allies, by submitting to such an insult. Having, therefore, impressed on the
Aedui the necessity of supplying him with provisions, he sends
forward messengers to the Boii to inform them of h
