There is in the same province Narbo
Martius, 1 a colony of our citizens, set up as a watch-tower of the Roman
people, and opposed as a bulwark to the attacks of those very natives. There is also the city
of Massilia, which I have already mentioned, a city
of most gallant and faithful allies, who have made amends to the Roman people for the dangers
to which they have been exposed in the Gallic wars, by their service and assistance; there is,
besides, a large number of Roman citizens, and most honourable men.
