Caesar, being informed of these things by Crassus, since he was so far distant himself, orders
ships of war to be built in the mean time on the river Loire , which
flows into the ocean; rowers to be raised from the province; sailors and pilots
to be provided. These matters being quickly executed, he himself, as soon as the
season of the year permits, hastens to the army. The Veneti, and
the other states also, being informed of Caesar's
arrival, when they reflected how great a crime they had committed, in that, the
embassadors (a character which had among all nations ever been sacred and

Caesar was now reported to have departed from Gergovia ; intelligence was likewise brought to them concerning the
revolt of the Aedui, and a successful rising in Gaul; and that Caesar, having been
prevented from prosecuting his journey and crossing the Loire , and
having been compelled by the want of corn, had marched hastily to the province.
But the Bellovaci, who had been previously disaffected of
themselves, on learning the revolt of the Aedui, began to assemble
forces and openly to prepare for war. Then Labienus, as
