Description
Caesar: Gallic War VI details the events of 53 BC, the year following Caesar’s major expedition to Britain. In this volume, Caesar suppresses revolts in Northern Gaul and crosses the Rhine to confront marauding Germans. He also pursues the chieftain Ambiorix into the Ardennes, leaving Q. Cicero, the orator’s younger brother, at Arduatuca with the Fourteenth Legion, where the camp is attacked and casualties are inflicted by German forces.
The central section offers a description of the customs of the northern Gauls and Germans, particularly the practices of Druidism.
With full annotation on linguistic matters and a comprehensive vocabulary, this book is ideal for post-beginners tackling their first Latin prose or preparing for examination.
