C. Julius Caesar, Gallic War, Book 4, chapter 9 (search)
The embassadors said that they would report these things to their country men;
and, after having deliberated on the matter, would return to Caesar after the third day, they begged that he would not in the
mean time advance his camp nearer to them. Caesar said
that he could not grant them even that; for he had learned that they had sent a
great part of their cavalry over the Meuse to the
Ambivariti, some days before, for the purpose of plundering and
procuring forage. He supposed that they were then waiting for these horse, and
that the delay was caused on this account.

The Meuse rises from mount
Le Vosge, which is in the territories of the Lingones ; and, having received a branch of the Rhine
, which is called the Waal , forms
the island of the Batavi, and not more than eighty miles from it it
falls into the ocean. But the Rhine takes its source among
the Lepontii, who inhabit the Alps , and is carried with a
rapid current for a long distance through the territories of the
Sarunates, Helvetii,
Sequani, Mediomatrici, Tribuci, and
Treviri , and when it approaches the ocean, divides into several
branches; and, having formed many and extensive islands, a great part of which
are inhabited by savage and barbarous nations (of whom there are some who are
supposed to live on fish and the e

But the enemy, as soon as they saw our horse, the number of which was 5000,
whereas they themselves had not more than 800 horse, because those which had
gone over the Meuse for the purpose of
foraging had not returned, while our men had no apprehensions, because their
embassadors had gone away from Caesar a little before,
and that day had been requested by them as a period of truce, made an onset on
our men, and soon threw them into disorder. When our men, in their turn, made a
stand, they, according to their practice, leaped from their horses to their
feet, and stabbing our horses in the belly and overthrowing a great many of our
men, put the rest to flight, and drove them forward so much alarmed that they
did not desist from their retreat till they had come in sight of

The Germans when, upon hearing a noise behind them,
[they looked and] saw that their families were being slain, throwing away their
arms and abandoning their standards, fled out of the camp, and when they had
arrived at the confluence of the Meuse and the Rhine
, the survivors despairing of further escape, as a great number of their
countrymen had been killed, threw themselves into the river and there perished,
overcome by fear, fatigue, and the violence of the stream. Our soldiers, after
the alarm of so great a war, for the number of the enemy amounted to 430,000,
returned to their camp, all safe to a man, very few being even wounded. Caesar granted those whom he had detained in the camp
liberty of departing. They however, dreading revenge and torture from the Gauls, whose lands they had ha

Having divided the army, he orders T. Labienus to
proceed with three legions toward the ocean into those parts which border on the
Menapii; he sends C. Trebonius with a
like number of legions to lay waste that district which lies contiguous to the
Aduatuci; he himself determines to go with the remaining three
to the river Sambre , which flows into the Meuse , and to the most remote parts of Arduenna,
whither he heard that Ambiorix had gone with a few horse. When
departing, he promises that he will return before the end of the seventh day, on
which day he was aware corn was due to that legion which was being left in
garrison. He directs Labienus and Trebonius to return by the same day, if they can do so agreeably to
the interests of the republic; so that their measu
