44.
Having devastated the country in such a manner, Caesar
leads back his army with the loss of two cohorts to Durocortorum of the Remi, and, having
summoned a council of Gaul to assemble at that place,
he resolved to hold an investigation respecting the conspiracy of the Senones and Carnutes, and having pronounced a most
severe sentence upon Acco, who had been the contriver of that plot,
he punished him after the custom of our ancestors. Some fearing a trial, fled;
when he had forbidden these fire and water, he stationed in winter quarters two
legions at the frontiers of the Treviri , two among the Lingones , the remaining six at Agendicum,
in the territories of the Senones ; and, having provided corn for the army, he set out for
Italy, as he had
determined, to hold the assizes.
