9907718729Caesar 5.24Caesar distributed his legions among several states so that he could fix the problem of the scarce amount of corn being distributed.41
9907718730Caesar 5.25Tasgetius was a high ranking, wealthy Carnute. He was killed in his third year of ruling by his enemies who included many that were part of his state. Caesar learned of the death and was informed that all his legions were fortified in their winter-quarters.42
9907718731Caesar 5.26Some of Caesar's troops were attacked by Ambiorix and Cativolus while they were gathering food and supplies. Quickly other troops came in and drove off the enemies.43
9907718732Caesar 5.27Ambiorix reveals the plans of the Gauls to join with the Germans, and attack the winter-quarters, all in the same day. Ambiorix says that because he owes Caesar, he is giving him notice. He promises to let them have safe passage through his territory.44
9907718733Caesar 5.28After hearing the want of Caesar's troops to fight the enemies, a Council came together to debate whether they should fight and wait for Caesar's orders or flee. One reason to stay was that they sustained the attacks from the Germans. Another reason was that they shouldn't believe what the enemy says.45
9907718734Caesar 5.29Titurius believed that they would decide too late and that the Germans already are assembling to fight. He talks about their loss of Gaul and the death if Ariovistis was very impactful. He also doubts Ambiorix's "plan" of surrendering. Ambiorix should be feared and they should prepare for danger.46
9907718735Caesar 5.30After both sides made their case, Sabinus tells the soldiers that he hopes he is not the only one that is well aware of the disaster that is bound to happen. He says that the troops will experience war and they will die by sword or by famine.47
9907718736Caesar 5.31The debate continues till midnight. Cotta is overruled and Sabinus' plan wins. They decide to leave at daybreak. All the soldiers gather their things while making a great amount of noise. They have everything ready, yet they are tired, to easily leave because they believed in Ambiorix to allow them to pass without harm.48
9907718737Caesar 5.32The enemy are waiting outside the winter quarters for the arrival of the Romans. They attack them as they are in a valley and unready.49
9907718738Caesar 5.33Sabinus runs around scared and without a plan. Cotta tries his best as he thought this might happen. The soldiers try to get a battle line together by telling everyone to drop baggage and get into formation. General chaos everywhere.50
9907718739Caesar 5.34The barbarians had a good plan and were very organized. Many Romans fought bravely and killed many enemy even if abandoned by their leader (Sabinus). Ambiorix guides enemy to avoid well-organized Romans.51
9907718740Caesar 5.35Long day of fighting outside winter quarters of Sabinus and Cotta. Brave Titus Balventius is wounded. Quintus Lucanius is killed helping his son. Cotta is wounded while encouraging his men.52
9907718741Caesar 5.36Sabinus sends an interpreter to Ambiorix to ask for surrender. He asks Cotta if he wants to have a meeting: Cotta refuses to go up to an armed enemy.53

9907718743Caesar 5.38Ambiorix is happy and gets more Gauls (Nervii) excited to fight. They set sights on Cicero.55
9907718744Caesar 5.39Many head to Cicero's winter quarters and capture (again) men gathering wood and supplies. They attack the calvary and then the legion. Romans barely sustain attack and enemy confident of victory.56
9907718745Caesar 5.40They send messages to Caesar. Cicero fortifies the winter quarters and fill the ditch. They work day and night.57
9907718746Caesar 5.41Two Nervians give Cicero the same offer that Ambiorix gave to Sabinus. Cicero says that no Roman would accept the offer of an armed enemy. Cicero offers to send a message to Caesar.58
9907718747Caesar 5.42The Nervii build fortifications of their own around the camp outside of Cicero's winter quarters.59
9907718748Caesar 5.437th day of attack. There is a big fire. The enemy begins to scale the walls of Cicero's winter quarters. The Romans fight bravely.60

9907718750Caesar 5.45The worst day of the battle. A Nervian volunteers to send a message about the attack on Cicero's winter quarters to Caesar.62
9907718751Caesar 5.46Caear receives the message about the attack on Cicero's winter quarters and send his own to gather troops.63

9907718753Caesar 5.48Goes with the two legions to help Cicero. Cicero finally gets the letter from the tower, reads it to his men and sees the signs of legions in the distance.65
9907718754Caesar Book 6.13Caesar describes the two kinds of men in Gaul. (He describes how many common people are essentially slaves, and turn over their rights to more powerful people when they are oppressed or overwhelmed by debt or etc.) The first is that of the Druids. The Druids interpret religious matters and perform sacrifices. They decide legal disputes. There is one Druid whom reigns supreme over the others. Once per year, they assemble in the territory of the Carnutes to decide disputes. Caesar also supposes that the Druid order was begun in Britain.66
9907718755Caesar Book 6.14The Druids aren't involved in war or paying taxes. Many Druids were sent to the organization by family, and spend up to 20 years learning verses. However, they don't write them down, because they don't want the common folk to be able to learn them and because it's more rigorous to memorize them without writing. They believe in a form of reincarnation, and tell the youth about astronomy.67
9907718756Caesar Book 6.15The second order is the knights. They are usually engaged in war every year, and excel in that respect. Those born into good families receive many slaves. This is the lifestyle that they choose to live.68
9907718757Caesar Book 6.16Caesar describes the Gallic practice of human sacrifice. They sacrifice those who are seriously ill or prisoners, and the Druids preside over these ceremonies. They do it to please the gods. Most of the time, they create giant figures and put the sacrifices inside of them for burning. When they can't sacrifice a guilty person, sometimes they resort to sacrificing innocent people to please the will of the gods.69
9907718758Caesar Book 6.17The Gauls worship many gods, but especially like Mercury. They consider him to be the top god, and worship Apollo (avoiding disease), Mars (wars), Jupiter (command of heavenly beings), and Minerva (works and trades) below him. For Mars, they sacrifice animals and take spoils of war and place them in sacred locations. It is a crime to either hide these things in your house or attempt to take one, and the punishment for this is death by torture.70
9907718759Caesar Book 6.18The Gauls think that they are descended from the god Dis (AKA Pluto). This is a Druid teaching. They use this belief to justify their division of days "so that day follows night". Additionally, children are not allowed to openly approach their father in public until they can fight in war.71
9907718760Caesar Book 6.19In marriage, both men and women have a dowry, and all of this money is put into a singular account. Whoever survives longer gets the money that is in this account. Fathers have authority over life of their wives and children, and if a father dies and there is a suspicion that he might have been murdered, an investigation is launched. Gallic funerals involve burning all of the things which they held dear to the deceased person, including animals and slaves.72
9907718761Caesar Book 6.20It is not allowed to tell rumors or secrets about the state behind the state's back. This is because more inexperienced men heard false rumors and went crazy because of them. It's up to the magistrates to decide what the common people should and should not know about the state.73
