54.
This battle having been reported beyond the
Rhine
, the Suevi, who had come to the banks of that river, began
to return home, when the Ubii, who dwelt nearest to the
Rhine
, pursuing them, while much alarmed, slew a great number of them. Caesar having concluded two very important wars in one
campaign, conducted his army into winter quarters among the
Sequani, a little earlier than the season of the year required. He
appointed Labienus over the winter-quarters, and set out in person
for Hither Gaul to hold the assizes.
