Final Exam Part II

I. Gaul is divided into three parts, one of which we know include the Belgae, along with the Aquitani, 30 languages who call themselves the Celts, and our Gauls. All of the languages, institutions, and laws are different. The Garmun separates the Galls from the Aquatani, and the Matrona and Sequanis separate them from the Belgians. The strongest out of all of these the Belgians are the strongest, but their province is cut off from the ours, and merchants often do not go to them and carry things which would effeminate the spirit, and they are the closest to the Germani, who live across the Rhine river, with whom they perpetually wage war, for what reason the Helvetii also surpass the rest of the Gauls in valor, as they contend with the Germani are in war daily , whether they repel them from their territories, or wage war themselves on own land. The one part of all this, which the Gauls occupy, the start of the Rhone begins; This is surroundedby the Garonn river, the ocean, and the territories of the Belgae; it b, toooudaries, on the side of the Sequani and the Helvetii tribes, and on the river Rhine, it stretches to the north.

They lived on the border of the first crossing of the Rodanum river.

XI. The Helvetii were now through the straight and border of the Sequanis and arrived out the border of the Haedorum and ravaged the land. The Haeduorum, with not being able to defend themselves, they sent a dispatch to request aide from Caesar: And so they said that they were deserving of the Romans and should see an army sent to our land to be deprived of the people, freeing [them] in them removing slavery, purging them and not holding back.
