The location of these camps has been much disputed. The most common view puts Fabius at St. Pol, Cicero at Charleroy (or possibly Namur), Roscius at Séez in Normandy, Labienus on the Ousthe (in Luxembourg), Crassus, Plancus, and Trebonius not far from Amiens, Sabinus and Cotta at Tongres. These places do not quite agree with the description unless we take the hundred mile limit (133 29) as the radius of a circle, a meaning which seems improbable. But this division is perhaps near enough.
