This edition of Caesar's P>ellum Britannicum is intended to
supply the wants of students reading for the Primary Examination
for the years 1896, -97, -98. It would be an ideal course in Latin
to have a student thoroughly conversant with either the First Latin
Book or the Primary Latin Book before attempting Caesar, but as
many attempt Caesar before taking a thorough elementary course
in grammar, a number of graduated exercises forming an easy
introduction to the difficulties of Caesar have been inserted. To
provide for the requirements of the Education Department, a series
of graded passages for sight reading have been added. It is to be
hoped that these new features of the book will commend them-
selves to all.
The exercises at the end will be found useful, and a good test of
the pupil's knowledge of the Latin text.

believer in the nol)le destiny of her son. His early train-
ing, according to the fashion of that day, consisted in
accpiiriug a knowledge of numbers, grammar, music, and
in practising physical exercises. He is also said to have
devoted consitlerable time to verse making. »

(iiuukm- U.o imlir-dual), the mmen (.losiKnatin- the gens or dan) and
the avpwman (telli.ij; the famil!,). Thus Caius is a pmenomca. Julius is
a vomea, and Caesar, a cu,jnomen. Sometimes an armomcn was added
for honorary distinclion as Afrlcanus to P. (^ornelius Sciipio.
SMonnnsen (Hist, of Home, Vol. III., 15) ar-ues that Caesar was horn
102 B.C. llis main reason for assi-nino; this date is that the h'x nnnalu
which preserihed the minimum age at which a citizen could hold certain
offices, \\;:s observed in Caesai-s case. 15y this law no one could liold ihe
quaestorship before he was .•II, the aedileship before 37, the j.raetorship
before 41, the consulsliip before r.i. l!y referring to the chronology of
his life, the i.lausibility of the argument would appear. In answer to
this we may say that : (1) the law was not always ohserxed ; (2) Suetonius
represents Caesar as 1« years of age when his father died; (;i) Plutarch
Suetonius and Appian, state that Caesar \\as .',0 years of age when he was
assassinated.

Rolaiedto His aunt Julia was nianied to C. Marius. To this
Ifl flTWt^
relationship may be ascribed the fact that Caesar at the
early age of 14 was appointed to the ofilce of priest of
Jove {Jlamen dialis)^ by virtue of which he was a member
of the sacred college and received a handsome income.
We may also ascribe to his connection with Marius the
bent of his political opinions. Caesar after the death of
the great dictator led the popular or democratic j)arty as
opposed to the senatorial or aristocratic.
Bi-irothoil to He was at first betrothed to Cossutia, a wealthy heiress,
Cussxitm. i^yj Y\e broke off the engagement on the death of his father.
In the following year (83 B.C.), he married Cornelia,
daughter of L. Cornelius Cinna, the leader of the popular
party and the avowed opponent of Syl'a. This union was
displeasing to Sylla, who ordered Caesar to divorce Cor-
nelia. This Caesar refused to do. Through the interces-
sion of Aurelius Cotta, Caesar was at length pardoned.
In consequence of having thwarted the will of Sylla
Caesar incurred his enmity and found it unsafe to remain
at Rome. He went to the East, and served his first cam-
paign under M. Minucius Thermus. He seems to have
remained in the East for about four years, distinguishing
himself for personal bravery at the siege of Mitylene and
in the war against the Cilician pirates. On the report of
Sylla's death, 78 B.C., he came home.
The tactics that Caesar adopted at this time to further
the interests of his party showed his consummate skill as
a political leader. The Koman Senate had become
utterly powerless to deal with the duty of administering
properly the government. The lower classes filled with
turbulent crowds the cities, m consequence of the free
labour of the Italian provincials being in a great measure
supplanted by that of slaves. Ever since the days of the
Gracchi opposed to this democratic element was the Sen-
Cnmposition .^te, conservative in its nature, being composed of men
Smate. whose interests were likely to suffer if the democratic
element should get any power in the state. In the mid-

antecedents, on the one hand opposed to democracy as '""''
men of affluence naturally are, and on the other opposed
to the old families who prided themselves simply in tracin^r
their descent through a long line of ancestors. In fac^t
the history of Rome from the middle of the second century
B.C., down to the time of Augustus, presents little more
than the mtrigues of wily politicians who by unscrupu-
aousness endeavoured to supplant each other in the favour
of the people. Caesar attempted to show that the Sena-
toriah government of the provincials was thoroughly C«..«r
corrupt, He indicted Cn. Dolabella (78 B.C.) and C. "l^j^m
Antonius {77 B.C.) for extortion. Though Caesar lost"'"'
these causes, he really gained a triumph, since he proved^"'""""'
the utter corruption of the courts which were filled by the
Senatorial faction. To improve his style in oratory, he
went to the school of Molo, at Rhodes. On the voyage ^'"'« '«
th.ther Caesar's vessel was captured by pirates at Phar- ^^ed 6v
macussa (now Fermaco\ one of the Sporades. He was^*""^''"
detamed for forty days, and was not released till a ransom
6f $50,000 had been paid. During his detention, he is
said to have joined these marauders in their sports
and to have jestingly told them that he would, when liber'
ated, have them crucified. This threat he afterwards
made good. Landing at Miletus, he collected a small
fleet, captured them, and brought them to Pergamus
where they were executed. He stayed at the school of
Molo for two years.
When absent from Rome, Caesar was elected ponttfcv. Ki.,a
1 his office could be held only by one residing in the capi ^"'"">'^^-
tal, and thus he was compelled to return. A reaction had
meanwhile set in opposed to the policy of Sylla. With «ST
the Consulship of Pompeyand Crassus (70 B.C.) a reform S^
had been mtroduccd by restoring the rights of the tri '
bunes and the censors, and by remodelling the Senate

office lie was entitled to a seat in the Senate. Me went
soon after his election with Antistius V'ctus into Spain,
and took up his residence at CordiUya (now Cordcnni).
One of the chief duties of the quaestor was to attend the
provincial assizes {com'ciitiis), and settle the disputes that
arose between provincials. In this office he displayed a
spirit of equity and moderation in striking contrast to the
policy of his predecessors. His popularity gained for him
many adherents, who, in after days, tlocked to his stan-
dard at the battle of Munda. It was during this year
that he lost his wife Cornelia.
Cacs u- married I'ompey's cousin, Pompeia, in the fol-
lowing year. No doubt this union was concluded for
political reasons. PomiJcy was now in the height of his
fame. This very year he was appointed by the Gabinian
law (/(.'.r Gabinia^ sole commander of the Roman fleet to
clear the coasts of the Mediterranean of the pirates who
infested it. Next year he was equally successful in
defeating Mithradatcs, king of Pontus.
In 65 li.C, Caesar was elected curulc aedile. While
holding this office, he increased his popularity, as well as
his debts, by the costly gladiatorial shows he gave to
gratify the depraved tastes of a Roman populace. He
also showed his devotion to the memory of Marius by
causing the trophies of that great commander, which had
been destroyed by Sylla,to be replaced. Many a veteran,
reading the inscriptions recounting the victories of Campi
Raudii, Aquae Sextiae, and over Jugurtha, would recall
the memory of the greatest soldier of the age, the deliverer
of Italy, and the sturdy supporter of popular rights. In
the year 63 B.C., a year noted for the conspiracy of
Catiline, Caesar hccMT\c pofiti/ex viaxivms. On the trial
of the conspirators, Caesar advocated the penalty of per-
petual banishment, while Cato advocated the death
penalty. Subsequent events proved that Caesar was
right.

resigning the office, he went as />ro/>rar/or to Spain, when propmrtor
he managed to gain money enough to pay off his enormous ''•^*^^«"*-
debts. On his return, he united with Pompcy and
Crassus to form the coahtion called the Fz'rs^ Triunnnrate. First Tri-
Pompey may be said to have been the representative ^f """'"■«^''•
the aristocratic classes, Caesar of the democratic, while
Crassus was an exponent of the moneyed party. In the ^
next year Caesar was Consul. To further cement the ''^■'^'^'c.
union, Pompey married Julia, Caesar's daughter. During Julia

jection.

QUARREL WITH POMPEY.
chamjcx During Caesar's absence in Gaul, Crassus was slain at
SmfL'^S^'the battle of Carrhae, B.C. 53. This really broke up the
Triumvirate. Pompey began to view Caesar's career
with distrust and alarm. He entered into a league with
the aristocracy and the Senate. A demand was finally
passed by the Senate that Caesar should disband his
legions. This Caesar refused to do, unless Pompey fol-
lowed the same course. Finally a decree "that the Con-
suls should provide that the State should receive no hurt,"
was passed. This order was equivalent to a declaration
of war, and was regarded as such by Caesar.
With one legion he crossed the Rubicon, the boundary
between Gaul and Italy. Soon Italy came over to his
side. Pompey and the party of the Senate fled to Greece.
Caesar marched to Spain, defeated the party of Pompey
at Ilerda., and took Massilia in Southern Gaul.
Caesar then prepared to follow Pompey. For some
time both armies encamped on the Apsus in Illyricum.
Finally the decisive battle was fought August 9th, B.C.
48, at Pharsalia. Though Caesar's forces were but one-
half the number of those of Pompey. the superior general-
ship and the courage of despair won the day, and Pom-
pey's troops were completely routed. Pompey fled to
Egypt, where he was treacherously murdered by an emis-
sary of the king. Caesar followed and became involved
in difficulties in settling the succession to the throne.
Soon after he crushed the Pompeian party at the battle
of Thapsus^ in Africa, 46 B.C. Caesar was now the master

In AS ^^ C., the two sons of Pompey had collected a

all the offices of State, and thus the whole authority
was centered in one man.

THE WORKS OF CAESAK.
(i) Extant:—
(a) Commcutarii dc Bello Gallico in sciicn books. This
work contains an account ot the conquest of Gaul from
B.C. 58 to B.C. 52. In tl)e first Ijook we have the con-
quest of the Helvetii mentioned, and in the seventh book
the death of Clodius is referred to as lately having taken
place. As the death of Clodius happened B.C. 52, we
may assume that the events recorded happened between
these two dates. An ei-hth book was added by Aulus
Hirtius to complete the events to 51 H.C.
^ (b) Cimimcuiarii de Bella Civili in three books. This
gives an account of the civil wars down to the time of the
Alexandrine war. The history of the Alexandrine,
African, and Spanish campaigns were afterwards added.
Hirtius probably wrote the account of the Alexandrine
campaign ; Oppius, that of the African ; the account of
the Spanish war was written probably by a centurion of
Caesar's army, accoRling to Niebuhr, who discovers a
change in style and expression from that of the other two
accounts.
(2) Lost Works:—
(a) Antkato. A reply to Cicero's panegyric on Cato
Uticensis, who fell at Thapsus, B.C. 46.
(d) Dii Aftalogia. or as Cicero calls it, Dc Rationc
Latine loquendi. Dedicated to Cicero and written when
Caesar was crossing the Alps.
(c) Libri Auspiciorum or Auguralia. Published B.C.
63, when Caesar was Pontifex viaxinius.
(d) De Astris. Published also B.C. 63.

time, and to leave on record for all aj^cs to conic a jjcn-
picture of himself and his army as tiiey figured in these
years of Roman aggrandizement in Western Europe.
With how bold jet delicate a touch he paints
(1) himself, as a considerate and humane officer,
" slow to blame, quick to praise," (see the episode
of Cicero, Bk. V., 46-52, and Bk. VI., 42,) ; as a
cool-headed strategist, a merciful conqueror, and
a just judge;
(2) his subordinate officers, Cotta, Sabinus, Labienus
- Cicercy, their faults and their virtues ;
(3) his foes, the Britons, the Germans, the Gauls ;
their chieftains (Cassivellaunus and Ambiorix) ;
their modes of fighting and other national char-
acteristics ;
(4) his own legionaries, with their intrepid zeal amidst
fearful odds of peril and hardship ;
(5) and even Pompey, not yet an avowed enemy,
conceding something to "friendship and the good
of the commonwealth."
These features combine to make books V. and VI. an
mteresting study even from the literary stand-point.

THE CONQUEST OF GAUL.
In the year 600 B.C., the Greeks of Phocaea, in As\n Gre^k
Minor, emigrated and'settfed at Massilia (now Marseilles). ''"'^"'^»'-
On the conquest of Asia Minor by Cyrus the Great, many
of their countrymen joined the Phocaeans ; and soon the
young Greek colony rose to power. The inhabitants of
Massilia became the leaders in learning and commerce,
and established colonies along the neighbouring coast of
the Mediterranean. As the Greek colonies encroached
on the wild barbarians, wars naturally arose. In 1 54 B.C.
the Ligurians besieged Antipolis and Nicaea, two depen-
dencies of Massilia, when the Massiliots called in the aid

The army of C. Scxtius Cahinus, afier thiee campaigns,
pknidered their territory, and re(hiced the inhabitants to
slavery. Near Massiha, he founded the town of Aquae
Sextiac (now Aix)^ which obtained its name from the h(jt
springs of tlic neighbourhood. About this time, the
Aedui and AUobroges were at war. The Arverni, the
most jx)werful of the GalHc tribes, aided the AUobroges,
while the Aedui conckided a tieaty with the Romans.
In 121 B.C., Cn. Domitius defeated the AUobroges at
Vindahum, a little above Avignon; and in the same year
the (lallic confederates were defeated by tiie united armies
of Cn. Domitius and Q. Fabius Maximus, near the
junction of the Isere and the Rhone. The country of the
AUobroges was reduced to a Roman province, and
received the name Provincia. Massiha however, still
retained her independence. Within the next succeeding
years, the Romans enlarged the boundaries of the original
Provincia, which extended at first from the Alps to the
Rhone, by reducing that portion of Gaul from the Rhone
to the Pyrenees, thus keeping open the road to Spain.
In 113 B.C. the whole of Italy was thrown into conster-
nation by the invasion of the Cimbri and Teutoncs.
After wandering about the Northern Italy, they entered
Gaul and attacked the Roman Province. In 109 B.C.
rf«/mY.sn/"/'/(flthey defeated the Consul, M. Junius f^ilanus. The
Romans. Romans sustained another defeat two years later when
they attempted to keep back the Tugurini, one of the
Helvetic cantons who were attempting to enter Gaul.
In this battle fell L. Piso, the grandfather of Caesar's
father-in-law. In 106 B.C., Q. Servilius Caepio sacked
Toulouse, which had formed a league with the Cimbri and
Teutones. This temporary gain was followed by a
crushing defeat inflicted on the Romans near the banks of
the Rhone by the Cimbri and Teutones.

While the Teutones remained on the East of the Rhone,
the Cimhri turned back from the Pyrenees, joined the
Teutones, and then passed the Alps. Marius who had
gained great glory in the Jugurthine war, was sent
against the invaders. He hastened to Southern Gaul, ,),^,„^ „^
and defeated the '! eutones at Aquae Sextiac, 102 li.C. '^'''""'"'"'^
In the following ye r lie met the Cimhri at Vercellae and ""''^''"'"'"
crushed them in battV'.
Dui ing the ci\ il war, Sertorius, a follower of Marius,
stirred up the Aquitani to revolt. J he revolt, however,
was unimportant. During the Consulship of Cicero, Cat- intrigues oj
ihne attempted to carry out his nefarious conspiracy. He ^'«'''''"'•
and his associates attempted to gain over the deputies of
the Allobrogcs, who were on some mission at Rome, to \
join the conspiracy. These deputies betrayed the pro-
posals 10 the Consul. The Allobroges not being success-
ful in their mission, and perhaps instigated by the repre-
sentations of Catiline, took up arms and defeated Manlius
Lentulus. In a second battle, however, they were de-
feated by Pomptinus.
The y>cdui, proud of their alliance with Rome, began to
lord it over the other tribes. The Sequani formed an
alliance with the Arverni. These two tribes invited Ario- Ariovi,tus
vistus, a German, to assist them against the Aedui. Soon *"'"''*''^-
the Aedui were reduced to submission. Their chief, Divit-
iacus, went to Rome, and implored the aid of the Senate.
The Sequani meanwhile found out that Ariovistus from
being an ally turned to be their master. He demanded a
third part of the territory of the Sequani, and being re-
fused, defeated them in the battle of Magetobriga. After
this he ruled them with unbearable insolence.
In B.C. 60, a report reached Rome that the Helvetii ^ ■
like the Cimbri and Teutones, were preparing for a great ^Str
emigration.
The plan was under the direction of Orgetorix a
wealthy Helvetian noble. Seeing the fertile plains' of

Macedonians, and perhaps derived from them. Camillus
(circa, yjo I5.C.) is said to have broken up the ///,f/r//u- into
smaller bodies called maiiifiuli, capable of acting inde-
pendently and also in concert. The whole legion was
arrangctl in tiiree hnes. In the first {haslati) were the
youngest nun, in the second {principcs) were men in the
full vigor of life, and in the third {triarii) were the veter-
ans. Kach line contained ten nianipuli, arranged in the
following fashion ;

centiirio prior, the one commanding the left century, ccn-

This was the triplex acies referred to so often by Caesar.
To each legion was attached 10 turmae, or squadrons of
cavalry of 30 men each, each ttirma being sub-divided
into three decuriae of 10 men each j each decuria was
headed by an olificer called decurio.
To Caesar or Marius is ascribed the custom of drawing
up the legion of cohorts. Each legion, when complete,
had regularly 6,ood men, divided into 10 cohorts {cohortes\

each maniple into two centuries {centuriae) The spear

been armed with the pike {piluni). Hence the first two
lines were sometimes called ante-pilani.
The officers of the army \\ere :
(a) Ceniun'ons {Ccniurioncs) : These were the leaders
of the centuries, two in each maniple, six in each
cohort, and sixty in each legion. There was a reg-
ular system of promotion in the Roman army. The
hiirhest centurion was the first centurion of the first
maniple of the first cohort, so the U)west would be
the second centurion of the third maniple of the
tenth cohort. As a badge of authority the centu-
rions carried a staff.
(b) Milittuy T)-!buncs ( T7-ibuin Miltliini) : These
were six to each legion : hence ten centurions were
under each tribune.
(c) LiciitouDitx i^Lcgati) : These were next the gene
ral in rounnand. The ca\alry were under the
command oi \\\c p) crft'cti eqiti/u»i and dccurioncs.
The "U't'dpons of the Roman so'dier were of two kinds :
(i) Ojji'nshw weapons. 'Hie ordinary soldier {miics
Iigionariits) was armtd with (a) //ir ja7>cliu. Of
this there were four kinds : pilinn, ia^tilimi., /lasta,
huicea. The piiion was a strong heavy pike, con-
sisting of a sc[uare shaft of wood four feet long, to
the end of which a strong, sharp iron point about
two feet long was attaclied. The huulinn was
a lighter dart used for hurling, while the hasta
was a long spear used for stabbing. The lancca
was a light spear with a broad point. The infantry
used the ;^/7/^w, while the caval y and light armed
troops, the uiculuiu., hasta., and /antra. Some of
the latter rai ried bows {ara/s), and arrows {sag/tfac),
slings {fnndac).
(b) The s-i'ord {gladtus) was short, broad, double-
edged and pointed, more used for stabbing than
for slashing. It was kept in a light scabbard
fastened to a belt {hal/eus).

(2) Dejeusri'c weapons. The soldiers of the legion had :
(a) a brazen helmet (oiss/s), surmounted ^ith a
crest ; (b) a cuirass (/ori'ea), made of leather, or of
strips of metal fastened on the leather, or of metal-
lic scales, or of brazen plates : (c)^^rea7'es (oereae),
reaching as hi-h as the knee ; (d) a shield either
oblong, made of boards, covered w ith leather and
surrounded with a broad metallic rim {scutum), or
made of bronze and of an oxal shape {clipeus\
The light armed troops had a small buckler {parma\
and a helmet of leather {i^alea). The soldier had
beneath liis armour his tunic {tu7uca\ a thick,
woollen under-garment reaching nearly to the
knees. His cloak (sao^um) was of heavy, woollen
stuff, fastened by a broach on the shoulder, and
open in front. The cloak of the general was called
p( iliu lame f it u ni .
The standards of the Roman army were : (a) Aquila, Standards.
or eagle, the standard of the legion. This was of gold,
silver, or bronze, with expanded wings. See Vocabulary;
Aqnilifer. To lose the eagle was a great disgrace. The
standai-d of the maniples was called (b) signum, and was
of various designs, sometimes a wolf, dog, horse, serpent,
figure of victory, &c. (c) The vextllum was a square or
oblong l>anner carried by the cavalry.
The musical instruments of the army were : (a) tuba, Musical in-
trumpet, was straight and deep-toned. This was used for *''''""«^"'''-
the signals of adA-ance and retreat for infantry (b) coniu
and buccina were crooked, and had a shriller note, and
generally used to indicate a change of watch ; (c) lituus,
was formed like an augur's staff, and used for cavalry.

THE ARMY ON THE MARCH.
The army on the march may be divided into three
divisions ; (a) agincn primuui^ or van ; (Id) e.xrra'tus^ ag-
vien legionum^ or main body ; (c) agincn novissimum, or
rear. The van was generally composed of liglit armed
troops of infantry or cavalry. Their chief duty was to find
out the force of the enemy, or to hold the enemy at bay
until the main body should arrive. The main body with
the baggage train {iinpcdi))icnta), followed. The rear
generally consisted of cavalry or light armed troops.
The average march {iter iiistuni) was from six to seven
hours, or frotn fifteen to twenty miles a day.- On the
forced march the soldiers often covered fifty miles a day.
On the march, the soldier carried two Roman pecks of
grain {Jriimentiim\ cooking utensils {vasci)^ his arms,
blanket, and two rampart stakes {valli). The private
baggage of the soldier was called sarcina.

THE ARMY IN CAMP.
When the army was on the march, men {meiatores)
were sent forward to select a suitable place for a camp.
If possible, a high ground {hens superior) was sought.
The camp was usually square or oblong. An embank-
ment {vallum)^ formed from the ground thrown up from
trench {fossa), surrounded the camp. The camp had
four gates : ( i ) porta praetoria^ near the praetorium, or
general's tent, faced the enemy ; (2) porta decumana was
opposite to this ; {'^ porta principalis sinistra on the left;
and (4) porta principalis dcxtra on the right. Connect-
ing these two latter gates was the via principalis, and
parallel to the street was the via qiiintana. Connecting
the porta praetorta and porta decumana was the via prac-
toria.

The pickets were generally called exxubitores; vtgiliac
were night watches ; custodiae were sentinels to guard
some particular post.
The average pay was about 6X cents per day. Caesar
doubled this. A centurion received 25 cents per day.
Besides the regular pay Caesar often gave them the money
that accrued from the sale of booty.

NOTE ON ROMAN HISTORY.
History, or rather chronology, was cultivated in a somewhat crude form
by the Romans in the earliest times. P'rom the early days of the Republic
the magistrates were required to keep certain records of their doings while
in office, and these records formed for many years the sole history of the
State. The following may be regarded as the chief original sources from
which subsequent history was derived.
(i) Annales (i.e. annales libri, yearbooks) were records kept by differ-
ent officers recording the events of the year. Those of the pontifex /uaximus
were styled annaks pontificuvi, annales tnaximi, and recorded little beyond
the eclipses, prodigies and events of a supernatural nature. Most of these
records perished in the taking of the city by the Gauls in 390 B.C., but, as
far as possible, were replaced and continued down to 133 H.c, when they
were discontinued. The anna'es consnlares, of which a copy may be seen
at the end of Smith's Classical Dictionary, gave the names of the consuls
and the wars waged.
(2) Cominentari'' saceniotum seem to have been a kind of almanac for the
benefit of \\\q priests, telling for what event each day was noted. We also
hear of the commenlarii angnrutn kept by the augurs fir a similar purpose.
The Fasti of Ovid appears to have been constructed after the manner of
these.
(3) Libri praetoruvi were records kept by the praetors.
(4) Libri lintei were linen rolls containing historical records. Little is
known of these except that they existed in very early times, and are men-
tioned by Livy as containing an accouni of the first treaty with Carthage in
509 B.C.
(5) Tria millia tabularum contained the acts of tlie Senate from the
foundation of the city till the burning of the Capitol in Vespasian's reign,
79 A t,,
' ■ pus civ/ lis legis, collected at different times. These were the
docuiricats en w'rich the Roman historians chiefly based their works and
[xxvi]

■4
wliich tliuy consulted. The burninjf of the cily by the (iauls caused tlie
destruction of many important records. This accounts to some extent for
liie obscurity of the early part of tlie Roman history.
We may (bvide the hisloriial compositions of the Romans into three classes :
(i) Aniuu'es, (2) Historiae^ (3) Coinincutarii. The difference between
Aunalcs and Historiae is still a matter of discussion. Cicero says that the
Annales were written in imitation of the pontifical annals and were merely
memorials of the times, men, places, events, without any ornament, and
provided the meaning was intelligible, the chief excellency lay in brevity.
The Historiae added the ornaments of the orator to the narrative, aimed at
descriptions and were varied with speeches and harangues. Auliis Gelliiis
says the Annates observe the order of the years, narrating under each year
the events that occurred in sequence of time, while the Historiae did not ob-
serve the order of occurrence. ^^;t7//5' gives his opinion that the Annales
were records of events that took place in former days, while the Historiae
treated of events that took place during the lifetihie of the Author. The
Commcniarii were records, or rather notes or memoranda. Under this
head come Caesar's Commentaries. It is probable Caesar intended to
work up and present his in a different form, but, as Cicero says, their merit
was such in the eyes of the discerning that all judicious writers shrank from
the attempt to alter them.
There aie t/nre periods of Roman liistory.
(1) i:\\Q first e-xtends from the beginning of the second Piinie 7var to the
birth of Caesar. The compositions of tliis period went generally under the
name oi Annales.
(2) Tile second period extended f I om Caesar s birth to the death ofAugtisttis,
14 A.D. 'Yhiifoiirishing period o^ Roman history is contemporaneous with
the development of oratory and poetry. The narratives of the historians are
more ornate, the language more refined and the treatment of history better
understood.
(3) The third period may be dated after the death of Augustus. Tlie only
historian of note is Tacitus, who flourished under the fostering care of Trajan.
The decay of history was caused by the death of political liberty. All his-
tory, as well as all poetry, that was not adulation was treason under the
gruel despotism of the successors of Augustus.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE TO BELLUM BRITANNICUM.
Britain in the earliest times bore the name of yf//-/^^;/, and was visited
long before the time of Caesar by Plioenicians, Carthaginians and Greeks
for the ])urpose of ol)laining tin.
Roman Connection with Britain (henceforth called Britannia)
dates from 55 B.C., the year of Caesar's fust invasion, to 410 A.D., when
the Komans, hard pressed in Italy by the Gotlis and the Vandals, were
compelled to withdraw their forces from Britain in order to defend them-
selves at home.
Caesar did not occupy Britain. He simi)ly made two military landings
for the purpose of completing the subjugation of Gaul by intimidating the
British Celts from givi::g further aid to their Gallic kinsmen. Hence it is
that the chapters known as ^' Bclhim Britannicnin " were written as part of

< iic'sar's cuniincntarics Do Inilo Gallico. The history of these two hxmlings
ill 55 B.C. and 54 ii.C. comprises Chapters 20-3O of Hook I v., and Chai)ters
S-23 of B(-"k v., iVlhun (iallicum. We learn from the concluding
cha[)tt'rs that the only result of Caesar's invasion was to humhle
Cassivellaunus, under whom the Britons had temporarily united, and to
secure hostages and an annual tribute to be paid by iJritain to the Roman
people. Caesar withdrew his forces and Britain was not again molested for
nearly a hundred years.
Roman Occupation began under the Emperor Claudius in 43 A.D.
I'oityyeuis later the great Roman general Agricola, after defeating the
"large-Iind)ed and red-haired" Caledonians at Mor.s (Iranipius, pushed
north as ixx as the Moray P'irth. lie built a chain of forts between the
Clyde and the Forth, and did more than any other Roman general to
civilize the Britons.
In 120 A.D., Hadrian's Wall was built between the Solwayand the
Tyne, anil this hencefoi th fornieil the boundary between Caledonia and the
Roman province Ihitannia. The Roman capital was York ( I'lboracum).
The witluliawal of the Roman military forces in 410 A.D. left the island a
prey to jMrates from Germany and the North. Hence the advent of the
Picts and the Scots, the Angles, Saxons and Danes.
Roman occu])ation of Britain has left behind many lasting traces.
Dining this jieriod the inhabitants first learned to live in towns and engage
in industries. Christianity was first introduced into the island through the
medium of the Roman military. Ronian roails still stretch in many
directions through the islar.d. The luins of Roman walls and camps are
still to be seen in various parts of England, and m.any geographical names
owe their origin to Latin words, e.g., Lancaster, Chester, Lincoln from
cnstra and colonia. Thus it may be said that Caesar's two demonstrations
of Roman power in 55 and 54 i!.c. paved the way to the modern civili-
zation of Britain, as exhibited in the social condilion, the icligion, and
the iangitage oi \.\\Q people. Hence the Bellum Britannieum must for all
time possess a special interest for English-speaking readers the world over.

esse non poterant, in silvam /^rduennam abditis, quae ingenti
magnitudine per mSdios fines Tieverorum a flumine Rheno ad
initium Remorum pertinet, bellum parare instituit. Sed postSaquam
nonnulli principes ex ea civitate etfamiliaiitate Cingetorigis adducti
et adventu nostri exercitus perterriti ad Caesarem venerunt et de
suis privatim rebus ab eo petere' coeperunt, quoniam civitati con-
siilere non possent : veritus, ne ab omnibus desereretur, Indutiom-
arus legates a'd Caesarem 'mittit': Sese idcirco ab suis discedere
atque ad eum venire noluisse, qiTo facilius civitatem in officio conti-
neret, ne omnis nobilitatis disces'su plebs propter ipiprudentiam
laberetur : itaque esse civitatem in sua potestate, seseque, si Caesar
permitteret, ad eum in castra venturum, suas civitatisque fortunas
eius fldei permissurum.
IV. — Caesar, etsi intellegebat, qua de causa ea dice-
hono^edTnd ^entur quaeque eum res ab institute consilio deterreret,
Indutiomarus timen, ne aestatem in Treveris consumere cogeretur,
omnibus ad Britannicum bellum rebus compar.itis,
Indutiomarum ad se cum ducentis obsidibus vfinire iussit. His
adductis, in iis fllio propinquisque eius omnibus, quos nominatim
evocaverat, consolatus Indutiomarum hortatusque est, uti in officio
maneret; nthilo tamen seclus principibus Treverorum ad se con-
vocatis hos singillatim Cingetorigi conciliavit, quod cum merito eius
a se fieri intellegebat, turn magni interesse arbitrabatur, eius
auctoritatem inter suos quam plurimum valere, cuius tam egrggiam
in se voluntatem perspexisset. Id tiilit factum gr^viter Indutiom-

primis constituerat, quod eum cupidum rerum nova-
rum, cupidum imperii, magni animi, magnae inter Gallos auctori-
tatis cognoverat. Accedebat hue, quod in concilio Aeduorum
Dumnorix dixerat, sibi a Caesare regnum civitatis deferri ; quod
dictum Aedui graviter ferebant, neque recusandi aut deprecandi
causa legatos ad Caesarem mittere audebant. Id factum ex suis
hospitibus Caesar cognoverat. I lie omnibus primo prficibus pet ere
contendit, ut in Gallia relinqueretur, partim quod insuetus navi-
gandi mare timeret, partim quod religionibus impediri sese diceret.
Posteaquam id obstinate sibi negari vidit, omni spe impetrandi
adempta, principes Galliae sollicitare, sevocare singulos, hortarique
coepit, uti in continenti remanerent ; metu territare : non sine
causa fieri, ut Gallia omni nobilitate spoliaretur ; id esse consilium
Caesaris, ut, quos in conspectu Galliae interficere vereretur, hos
omnes in Britanniam traductos necaret ; fidem reliquis interponere,
iusiurandum poscere, ut, quod esse ex usu Galliae intellexissent,

citer viginti quinque in eo loco commoratus, quod Corus ventus navi-
gationem impediebat,qui magnam partem omnis temporis in his locis
flare consuevit, dabat operam, ut in ofificio Dumnorigem cont.ineret,

tatu atque essedis ad flumen progressi ex loco superiore nostros
prohibere et proelium committere coeperunt. Repuisi ab equitatu
se in silvas abdiderunt, locum nacli egregie et natura et opere
munitum, quern domestici belli, ut videbantur, causa iam ante
praeparaverant: nam crebris arboribus succisis omnes introitus erant
praeclusi. Ipsi ex silvis rari propugnabant nostrosque intra
munitiones ingredi prohibebant. At milites legionis septimae
testudine facta et aggere ad munitiones adiecto locum ceperunt
eosque ex silvis expulerunt paucis vulneribus acceptis. Sed eos
fugientes longius Caesar prosequi vetuit, et quod loci naturam
ignorabat, et quod, magna parte diei consumpta, munitioni
castrorum tempus relinqui volebat. ..^ —
X. — Postridie eius diei mane tripertito milites equi-
^e"fleeV*' tesque in expeditionem misit, ut eos, qui fugerant,
persequerentur. His aliquantum itineris progressis,
cum iam extremi essent in prospectu, equites a Quinto Atrio
ad Caesarem venerunt, qui nuntiarent, superiore nocte maxima
coorta tempestate prope omnes naves adflictas atque in litore
eiectas esse, quod neque ancorae funesque subsisterent neque
nautae gubernatoresque vim pati tempestatis possent : itaque ex eo
concursu navium magnum esse incommodum acceptum.
XI. — His rebus cognitis Caesar legiones equitatum-

cognoverat, coram perspicit, sic ut amissis circiter quadraginta navi-
bus reliquae tamen refici posse magno negotio viderentur. Itaque
ex legionibus fabros deligit et ex continenti alios arcessiri iubet ;
Labieno scribit, ut, quam plurimas posset, iis legionibus, quae sunt
apud eum, naves instituat. Ipse, etsi res erat multae operae ac
laboris, tamen commodissimum esse statuit, omnes naves subduci
et cum castris una munitione coniungi. In his rebus circiter
dies decem consumit, ne nocturnis quidem temporibus ad laborem
militum intermissis. Subductis navibus castrisque egregie munitis

Gallia est, in Britanniam. In hoc medio cursu est insula quae
appellatur Mona ; complures praeterea minores subiectae insulae
existimantur ; de quibus insulis nonnulli scripserunt, dies continues

essedis desiliendi facultatem dederunt. Ex hac fuga protinus,
quae undique convenerant, auxilia discesserunt, neque post id
tempus unquam summis nobiscum copiis hostes contenderunt.
XVIII. — Caesar cognito consilio eorum ad flumen
^^th^^Th'^me^ Tamesim in fines Cassivellauni exercitum duxit ; quod
flumen uno omnino loco pedibus, atque hoc aegre,
transiri potest. Eo cum venisset, animadvertit ad alteram fluminis
ripam magnas esse copias hostium instructas. Ripa autem erat
acutis sudibus praefixis munita, eiusdemque generis sub aqua
defixae sudes flumine tegebantur. His rebus cognitis a captivis
perfugisque Caesar praemisso equitatu confestim legiones subsequi
iussit. Sed ea celeritate atque eo impetu milites ierunt, cum capite
solo ex aqua extarent, ut hostes impetum legionum atque equitum
sustinere non possent ripasque dimitterent ac se fugae mandarent.

extrahi posse inteliegeret, obsides imperat et, quid in annos

aliquamdiu Caesar frustra expectasset, ne anni tempore a naviga'

It seems to have been used by the Gauls and the Germans, as well as by the
l5ritons, cp. Verg. Georg. ill., 204 ; Cic. ad Fam., 7, 6 ; Phil., 2, 58. It
appears to have reseml)led the ft'n^wq of Homer, but to have been heavier,
and open in front as well as behiiul. The anrigae mentioned in Chapter
XXXIII. seem to have been the masters, while the fighting was done by the
clientes or retainers. The word essedarii includes both aurigae and clientes :
cp. Tac. ag. 12: auriga honest ior: clientes propngnant. This was the
reverse of the Homeric method, where the driver {''p'^nX'K) was regarded as
a mere attendant (f^fpaTwp), while the warrior (w^wf) was the chief man.

qui aquilam ft'nhat = aquilijer\ "theen 'e bearer." A bronze or silver
eigle {aqui/a) was adopted by Marius in his second consulship (104 IJ.C. )
as the standard of the legion. 'Ihe standards of the cohortcs were called
signuy and seem to have been different for the different cohorts of the same
legion. A figure of victory, a round ball, a har.d and other end)lems were
used. The standard of the cavalry was a kind of banner called kwxillunt.
The honour of carrying the eagle belonged to the first centurion of the first
maniple of the triatii. He was called pn'iiii pili ccnturio or piincipHus,
and he had an oversight over the other centurions. Along with the trihuui

eadem node : the night of August 30th.
qui dies — consuevit: we miglit expect quo die luna consuevit. The con»
struction is loose, and the sentence shoultl be divided into two for an Knglish
translation. " It unfortunately happened on the same night that the moon
was full. On the day when this liappens the moon is wont to cause very
high tides on the ocean." Another reading for qui dies is quae uostrisque:
scil. militibw:. The influence of the moon on the tides seems to have been
known to Cicero : cp. de Divin. 2, 14 : quid defvetis out de tuariuis aesti-
bus dicam ? cum aatssus et recessus (flow and eN>) luuae tiiotu gubernanlur.
This work of Cicero did n<)^ appen,. however, till 44 B.C., eleven years
after the invasion of Britain. The ii^e and fall of (he tide in the Mediter-
ranean is hardly perceptible : hence the ignorance of the Romans respecting
it. At Dover it rises to the height of 19 ft., at Boulogne to 25 ft.
uuo tempore : "at one and the same time."
exercitum— cuiavcrat : "had liad the arm^ brought across." The
meaning of the gerundive with euro is peculiar. It does not mean necessity,
but supplies the place of the present participle passive ; that is, it has the
meaning of a continued passive state: cj». B. I., \2'. poutcm Jacieudum
curat'. \\. v., i.: iiaTcs Oidificaudas curareut. With the infniitive (7/w is
generally limited to negatives.
quasquc — coniphbat- et cos uai es quas in ariaum siibdiiAirat aestus com-

suppliiaHo : the word may be either day of thanksgiving for national suc-
cess, or a day of humiliation for mtional disaster. When a general gained
a victory he sent a letter wreathed in laurels {litterae laurealae) to the
Senate. If the victor deserved it, a thanksgiving {supplicalio) was usually
appointed, which generally lasted several days. The thanksgiving for
Caesar's victory over the Belgae was held for fifteen days, an honour which
Caesar says no one had obtained before: B. ll., Chapter xxxvil. The
thanksgiving for his victory over Vercingetorix also lasted twenty days : B.
VII., Chap. xc.

obsiJnm loeo : when joined with the genitive, loco has a semi-prepositional

CHAPTER VL
Dumnorix had conspired against the Romans in 58 B.C., and was par-
doned l)y the entreaties of his brother Divitiacus (B. I., 20). Fearing that
he might a second time stir up strife, Caesar desired to lake him to Britain.
His name is said to be derived from domun-rig, " king of the world."

accedebat hue : *' there was the further consideration that," literally, " to
this was added that." The subject of accedebat is the clause quod dixerat
and sibi deferri is in apposition to quod governed by dixerat.
graviter ferebant : as the Aedui annually elected a magistral called
Vergobretus, so called from the Keltic Feor-go-breith, '' a man for juflging,"
or Guerg-breath, "strong in judgment," they naturally were annoyed that
this right of election had been taken out of their hands : B. I., 16. Cae-
sar (B. VII., 33) states that the person holding this oflBce could not leave
the state during his term of ofhce, and that no person could be elected, if a
living member of the family held the post.
neque : *' and yet — not."
recusandi — causa: **to protest or urge any plea against it."
quod timeret : gives not Caesar's reasons but those of Dumnorix : " be-

injustice.

Africo: called by the Greeks At^, as blowing from Libya. The S.W.
wind is still called by the Italians Africo or Gherbino.
intermisso : *' having calmed down."
longius : Caesar probably passed the South Foreland and on the return
of the tide he made his way to the shore.
remis contendit — caperet : " he strove to reach by rowing. " As to the port
from which Caesar sailed many conflicting opinions are held. Mr. Airy
contends that Caesar started from the estuary of the Somme, and landed at
the beach of Pevensey^ on the coast of Sussex, near the spot where William
the Conqueror disembarked eleven centuries afterwards. Mommsen favors
the idea that the infantry embarked at Ambleteuse (which he identifies with
partus Itius), and the cavalry at Wissant, east of Cape Griz-Nez (Hist, of
Rome, IV., 7). Strabo also gives partus Itius as the place of embarkation
on the first expedition. Others say that the infantry started from
Gesoriacum (Boulogne), and the covalry at Ambleteuse,.
admodum: properly, "according to measure" i.e. "in as great a
measure as can be." In combination with numerals it denotes approxim-
ation and occurs frequently in Livy and Curtius. In Cicero we find it only

former year " : others, '* added to the provision ships."
quas—fecerat : "wliich each one had chartered for his own service."
Some explain sui commodi as governed by causa understood. It is not
usual to have the omission of causa except with the genitive of the gerund.
It is then explained as an imitation of the Greek idiom when ivtKa or virtj)
is omitted : cp. IV., 17 : si naves deiciendi operis essent a barbaris missae.
The omission of causa with a substantive is perhaps nowhere else found in
a prose writer.

de tertia vigilia : *' in the course of the third watch " : the expression
implies that the third watch had been set. The Romans divided the night
into /our vrsitches : prima vigilia from 6 to 9 p.m.: secunda vigiiia {xo\\\
9-12 p.m.: tertia vv^ilia from 12-3 a.m., and quarta vigilia from 3-6 a.m.
Veritas navibus : "fearing for the ships." The dative is not common
with vereoTf though common enough with metuo and timeo.
molli atque aperto : " smooth and clear of rocks."

taieis examinatis : "iron bars of ascertained weight." A good deal o\
discussion has arisen on this passage, because the Greek paraphrast renders
the word ta/eis by 6aKTv7uoiq, " finger rings." By comparing the present
passages with B. vii. 33, we find /aleae used in the sense of "bar" or
"beam." — examinatis: cp. examen ( =exagimen), "the beam of a
balance :" so ala~ axilla : mala = maxilla.
nummo : Herodotus calls the current coin vdfiia/xa (B. I. 94 ; iii. 56).
According to Aristotle (Ethics v. 8) the word is derived from vdfiog because
the value is fixed by law {v6fiog). It is pn)l>ahle that the Romans intro-
duced the word nummus from the Sicilian word vovfioz, a name given to a
small coin worth about five cents of our money. The earliest mint estab-
lished at Rome was in 344 B.C.
plumbum album : " tin." Caesar here reverses facts. The tin mines of
Britain are found near the coast chiefly in Cornwall, Devon and Wales ;
while iron is abundant in Stafford, Shropshire, Derby, parts of York and
Durham. The Scilly Islands were called Cassiterides or Tin Islands from
the Greek Kaaairtpoq, "tin." It is strange that Mr. Crutwell, of Oxford
(History of Roman Literature, p. 192), should make the mistake in sup-
posing thsit plumbum album meant lead. " The existence of lead and iron
were known to him (Caesar) ; he does not allude to tin, but its occurrence
could hardly have been unknown to him. "
ejus : refers to iron. According to official statistics, the gross annual
produce of iron is 3, 600, OCX» tons, while tin amounts to about 10,500 tons.
The fact that Caesar gained his information from the people on the coast,
where iron is scarce, may have led to this mistake.
cure importato : though we find copper in Cornwall, Devon, Stafford and
Anglesey, the mines were not much worked till the last century.
materia: "timber."
fagum : fagus in Vergil and in Pliny is the beech while ^Tyrff in Theo-

use of the nuts as food for primitive man. Crutwell (Hist, of Roman

Literature p. 192, note 3) says : " I am told by Professor RoIIeston iliai
Caesar is here mistaken. The pine, by which he presumably meant the
Scotch fir, certainly existed in the first century B.C., and as to the dtgcA,
Hurnham beeches were then fine young trees."
•
Uporem—putant : it is not known how this belief originated. The hare
was forbidden under the Mosaic law (Levit. xi., 6) ; possibly the absence
of corn in Britain may have made the others unpalatable.
non fas»m/as : "impious."
ioca frigoribtis : on account of its insular position and the influence of
the gult stream. Tacitus says (Agr. 12) caelum crebris imbribus ac nebiilis
focdum : asperitas jrigorum abest.
CHAPTER XIII.
natura'. "by nature," i.e. "in ^lape." Caesar may have gained his
knowledge of the shape of Britain Vom the natives or from the then
t^.ant works of the (Ireek writers since the island was not circumnavi-
gated by the Romans till A.D. 8^ fully a centur" .ifter his time : cp. Tacit.
Agr. 10: hanc Oram novissimi .iris tunc pi mum Romana classi circum-
venta insulam esse Brittanniam affirmant. Slrabo (iv. 5, l) mentions also
the fact that Britain is triangular and s lys that its longest side is parallel to
Keltica and is 4,300 sHdia in len^'th (about 500 miles). Keltica was a
name applied to the country from the mouth of the Rhine to the Pyrenees.
Pomponius Mela (ill., 6) compares Britain in shape to Sicily and says that
one side faces Gaul, and another side, Germany.
Cantium : now Kent, which is said to mean " comer."

inferior corresponds to alter in alter angulus.
hoc — alterum^ scil. latus,
quina^enta : the measurement from North Foreland to Land's End is 344
British or 356 Roman miles. Strabo's statement was evidently taken from
this statement of Caesar.
alterum vergit scil. latus : cp. Tacit. Ag. lo : Britannia in orientem
Germaniae^ iu occidentem /Jispaniae obtenditurx •* Britain lies opposite to
Germany on the East, to spain on the West." The erroneous views held by
the Romans with regard to the position of Britain arose from their innate
dread of long ocean voyages.
qua ex parte : Tacitus (Agr. 34) says that Ireland is between Britain and
Spain. The word Ililjernia is said to be derived from the Keltic ^n'w or
Iveriu, meaning " Western." (Max Miiller Science of Language, Vol. i.
p. 284.)

the position of that Island is midway between Britain and Ireland. As,
however, there is no doubt about Mona in Tacitus (Agr. 14 ; Ann. Xiv.

Besides the Isle of Man was properly called in Latin Monopia. According

chariots they were at an advantage.

BASED ON CAESAR'S GALLIC WAR, B. IV.
71? /v Transhitt'd into Latin.
XX.
I. A short period of time was left to carry on a regular war. 2. In
almost all the Gallic wars, the Britons furnished auxiliaries to our enemies.
3. It will be of great assistance to us if only we are able to ascertain what
nation inhabits Britain. 4. If we cannot find out how great the island is,
still, it will be of great advantage to examine the charnctor of the people.
5. We know veryliltle of the island, for very few persons except merchants
go to it. 6. He thought if he should summon to himself the traders from
all quarters, he might find out wiiat harbours were suitable for war ships.
7. The sea coast and the districts opposite Gaul were known to the mer-
chants. 8. Tiie time of the year was so short that it was impossible to
carry on a regular campaign. 9. Wiien he called the merchants to him,
they could not tell the size of the island.
XXL
I. Caius Volusenus, a tribune in his army, was sent forward with a war
ship. 2. Before ordering the fleet to assemble, he directed Volusenus to
ex[)lore the sea coast. 3. Before sending the ambassadors home again, lie
made them liberal promises. 4. All his plans were reported by merchants
to the Britons. 5. Several states of Britain sent envoys to promise him
that they would do all his orders. 6. Commius, whose influence among
the Atrebates he regarded of great value, was ordered to go to them.
7. Visit what states you can and tell them that I shall shortly come. 8. I
will examine all the places as far as opportunity offers, seeing that I dare
not go ashore. 9. He returned and reported to Caesar all that he had seen.
XXIL
I. While ships were being got ready in that district for the purpose of
carrying on a war against Britain, ambassadors came to Caesar. 2. The
Morini who had made war on the Roman peojile excused themselves on the
ground that they were barbarians. 3. We are unacquainted with your

ctistom, l>ut we promise to do all that you order. 4. Caesar levied a large
number of hostages from the Morini, because he thouj;lil that an enemy who
had given hostages woidd obey his commands. 5. AI)Out forty transports
will be enough to convey our legions across the sea. 7. To these are to be
added the eighteen transjxMts which are detaiin-d hy the wind from coming
into the harbour. 7, What galleys we had besides, we shall leave on the
coast of (laul. 8. Many ships were prevented by the storm from reaching
the island. 9. We ordered the lieutenant to send troops against the enemy,
XXIII.
I. These things were arranged by Caesar on that day. 2. At the
third watch of the following night he went on board hi-; vessel. 3. He
waited at anchor till the weather should be suitable for sailing. 4. It is by
no means a suitable place for disembarking, when weapons can be thrown
from the cliffs to the shore. 5- I>oth military science and especially sea-
manship demand that all commands be executed promi)tly. 6. After
weighing anchor they advanced at a gi"en signal al)out five miles from that
place. 7- They obtained fair wealher and moored the ships on an open
beach. 8. He collected his officers and told them what he had learned
from Volusenus. 9. In that spot they saw on all the hills the forces of the
enemy.
[V.
I. The barbarians generally employed cavalry and charioteers in battle.
2. They followed our men with all their forces, after they learned of the
arrival of the Romans. 3. It was not possible to moor ships of such size
in that place. 4. The Romans could not moor their ships except in deep
water. 5- The soldiers could not jump out of the ships, keep their footing
amid the waves, and fight with the enemy all at once. 6. The enemy, on
the other hand, with all their limbs free, could hurl weajions from dry
ground. 7. W^holly unacquainted with this sort of fighting, our men were
greatly terrified by the enemy. 8. The enemy boldly hurled their darts
against our men, and spurred on their horses. 9. All those places were
unknown to our troops who were oppressed with their heavy armour.
XXV.
1. The galleys were removed a little from the transports and put in
motion with oars. 2. The enemy were dislodged by arrows and heavy
missiles hurled from the ships of war. 3- If y<>u do not wish to be
frightened by the heavy missiles, fall back just a little, 4. The figure of

down out of your ship, you will betray tiie eayle to the enemy. 7. Let no
such disgrace be done; let us all leap down from the ships. 8. They
leaped down from the ships and began to approach the enemy. 9. We
pray the gods that this battle may turn out successfully for our legion.
XXVI.
I. The enemy fought fiercely for many hours. 2. We could not follow
our own standards, but we flocked to any we met. 3. The encniy would
surround some as they came out of the ships in scattered groups. 4. The
enemy knew all the shoals where our men landed. 5. Darts were thrown
from the shore by the enemy. 6. When Caesar observed this he sent up
some skiffs and spy boats filled with soldiers as a relief to those in distress.
7. Our men put the enemy to flight, but did not follow them up because
they had no cavalry. 8. A fierce attack was made on the enemy by our
men. 9. W'hen Caesar saw his soldiers in danger he sent his reserves to
aid them. 10. When all the spy boats were filled with soldiers, the
Romans soon reached the island.
i', S'll
XXVII.
I. As soon as the Romans defeated the enemy in battle, the Britons
gave hostages to Caesar. 2. When the Britons recovered from the flight
they promised to do all that Caesar ordered. 3. Caesar sent forward
Commius to Britain, but the Britons seized him after he disembarked.
4. They put him in chains although he hnd come to them in the character
of an envoy. 5. After the battle was fou,;l»t and peace made, he was sent
back to Caesar. 6. The inhabitants askLd the Romans to pardon their
thoughtlessness. 7» Though you have made war on the Romans, I am
willing to pardon your thoughtlessness, if you give hostages. 8. Caesar
levied hostages from all the states of the island. 9. Within a few days we
shall give some hostages to you ; others will be summoned from the more
distant parts. 10. If you lay all the blame upon the multitude you cannot
be pardoned by me.
XXVIII.
I. The eighteen ships did not reach the land till four days afterwards.
2. They were seen from the camp of the Romans, but some were carried
down to the lower part of the island and others were driven back to the

storm that arose. 4. Some of the vessels were .liiven back to tiie same place
from which they had slartitl and some cast ashore. 5. On the lower part
of the island very many of the vessels were wrecked with great loss to them-
selves. 6. They started for the continent with night before them, even
though the storm was great. 7. When the ships started for the continent,
many of them were filling with waves. 8. They set sail at daybreak and
landed at sunset. 9. A great storm arose at sea when the ships were
sailing to Britain.
XXIX.
I, It happened that Caesar did not know that the full moon caused very
high tides in the ocean. 2. He had the galleys drawn up on shore and the
transports anchoretl. 3. The Romans had no opportunity to lend aid to
the ships. 4. On that night many ships were wrecked by the storm.
5. The rest of the ships lost their cables, anchors, and the rest of their
rigging. 6. Throughout the whole army such a commotion took place that
Caesar did not know what to do. 7. The Romans had no corn ?n the
camp, for Caesar had not provided a supply since he intended to winter in
Gaul. 8, All things necessary for building ships would have to be brought
from the continent. 9. II is ships were nearly all unseaworthy, and could
not be repaired at this time.
XXX.
I. After this battle, the chiefs of Britain held conferences among them-
selves, 2. They learned that the Romans had few soldiers owing to the
small size of our camp. 3. The camp of the Romans was very small
because Caesar had no baggage in the army. 4. They thought that their
best policy was to renew the war. 5. Since the Romans lack horsemen,
ships and grain, the best thing to do is to keep them from supplies and
prevent their return. 6. If our men were j)! evented from a return, the
war would l)e prolonged to the winter. 7. They began again to form a
conspiracy after they learned that our men had no cavalry. 8. No one
will cross over to Britain for the purpose of carrying on war. 9. All the
Britons left the camp, and a league began to be formed.
XXXI.
I. When the Britons learned what had happened to Caesar's ships they
did not send hostages to him. 2. lie suspected that they would not send
hostages. 3, From the fact that many of the ships were severely disabled,

he suspected that he should have lo use the timlier of these vessels f(»r
repairing the others. 4. Com was collecteil by Caesar from that distiia
l)ecause the Romans had not brouijht a supply of it from Gaul. 5. All
things which were of need for repairini; llie vessels which had been wreekeil
were brought from the continent. 6. These matters were carried out by
the soldiers with the greatest zeal. 7. He h)st twelve ships at that time ;
still he was able to sail to the continent with the rest. 8. Many of the ships
were very severely damaged at that time by the storm which suddenly arose.
9. liuilding material was collected by Caesar for repairing ships.
m
XXXII.
I. The seventh legion had been sent to forage when Caesar saw a larger
cloud of dust than usual in the direction in which the legion marched.
2. In front of the gates of the camp the soldiers on guard saw a great cloud
of dust. 3. The cohorts which were on guard at once set out in that
direction in which the enemy was marching. 4. Our men were hard
pressed by the enemy and with difficulty kept their ground 5. "Do you
see," says he, "a larger cloud of dust than usual in that direction in which
the enemy's forces are?" 6. When the forces which were on guard before
the gates of the camp had set out, in that direction the other cohoiis
immediately followed them. 7« While our men were engaged in reaping,
the enemy who were skulking in the woods suddenly attacked them.
8. Our ranks were thrown into great confusion because the enemy suddenly
attacked our men. 9. The enemy suddenly surrounded our men with
many forces. 10. The enemy suspected that our forces would come to that
spot to reap the corn.
XXXIII.
I. At first they ride around everywhere and then work their way in
among the horsemen when they leap down from their chariots and the
drivers withdraw from the battle. 2. Darts are hurled from all siiles by
the enemy against our troops, and when once they have thrown our men
into disorder they fight on foot. 3. The Britons exhibited in battle the
activity of cavalry and the steadiness of foot soldiers. 4. They even on a
downward slope rein in their horses when at full gallop. 5. In a moment
they are able to check their horses even when running at full gallop.
6. They are accustomed to run along the whole length of the pole, and U)
stand on the yoke. 7. Often have our men seen them on a steep slope
rein their steeds. 8. When they were hard pressed by the Romans they
had a safe retreat to their chariots. 9. The sheer terror caused by the
horses and the rumbling of the wheels generally iliiew the ranks of our
men into confusion.

taken by our men. 7. Our men followed the enemy on that day as far as
they could. 8. Before the Romans withdrew to their camp they burnt all
the houses of the enemy. 9. The thirty horsemen (of whom mention has
been made before), pursued the enemy and killed several of them.
