Author Description

Excerpt from The Romans on the Riviera and the Rhone: A Sketch of the Conquest of Liguria and the Roman Province Caesar means Gallia with the Rhone Valley left out, as already conquered and reduced to a Province; (2) that the inroad of the Helvetii into Gaul, so ruthlessly ar rested and repulsed by Caesar, was looked upon as threatening a repetition of the cimbro-teuton invasion, which had so nearly overwhelmed Italy less than half a century earlier; (3) that the driving of Ariovistus back across the Rhine showed that Caesar's eagle-eye saw at a glance where the real danger lay, and that it was better policy to encounter Germany in Alsace than on the Rhone or in Provence.
