9907718753 | Caesar 5.48 | Goes 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 |
9907718754 | Caesar Book 6.13 | Caesar 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 |
9907718755 | Caesar Book 6.14 | The 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 |
9907718756 | Caesar Book 6.15 | The 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 |
9907718757 | Caesar Book 6.16 | Caesar 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 |
9907718758 | Caesar Book 6.17 | The 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 |
9907718759 | Caesar Book 6.18 | The 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 |
9907718760 | Caesar Book 6.19 | In 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 |
9907718761 | Caesar Book 6.20 | It 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 |
