57.23.

Noviodunum (now Soissons) about twenty miles west of Bibrax. Celtic dunum = English town; hence Noviodunum = Newton or Newburg. Soissons is derived from Suessiones. — ex itinere: i.e. as soon as he arrived, by filling up the ditch and scaling the walls, without waiting to throw up works or form regular lines of approach; cf. 53 2.
