Tubero arriving in Africa, found Attius Varus in possession
of that province, who, after the loss of his cohorts at Auximum, as we have shown above, had
fled into those parts, and, with the consent of the natives, taken upon him
the command. Here he had found means to levy two legions, by his knowledge
of the people and country, where he had been governor some years before,
after the expiration of his pretorship. Tubero coming before Utica with his fleet, was forbid the
harbour and town; nor could he even obtain leave for his son to land, though
he had a fit of sickness upon him, but was obliged to weigh anchor and be
gone.

Curio ordered him to sail directly for Utica, and followed himself with the land
army. After a march of two days, he arrived at the river Bagradas, where he
left C. Caninius Rebilus with the legi sea, steep and rough on both sides, but with an easier descent where it
fronts Utica. It lies little more than a mile
from Utica in a direct line; but as there is a
Utica in a direct line; but as there is a
fountain about half way, which runs towards the sea, and overflowing the
plain, forms a morass; to avoid this, in marching to Utica, it is necessary to take a compass
of six miles.

These things despatched, Curio repaired to his camp at Bagrada, where, with
the joint acclamations of the whole army, he was saluted by the name of
Imperator. Next day he led his army towards Utica, and encamped not far from the town.
But before he had finished his entrenchments, he was informed by some
parties of horse, who were upon the scout, that a powerful body of horse and
foot had been sent by the king of Utica: at the same time a great cloud of
dust began to appear, and soon after the enemy's van was in view. Curio,
astonished at a motion so unexpected, sent the cavalry before to sustain
their first charge, and keep them in play: he, meanwhile, drawing off the
legions from the works, with all possible expedition, formed them in order

Next day Curio resolved to besiege Utica, and draw a line ofcircumvallation
round it. There was in the town a multitude of men unfit for the fatigues of
war, through a long enjoyment of peace. The inhabitants themselves were
strongly attached to Caesar, for ancient favours received from him. The
senate was composed of people greatly differing in their tempers, and the
losses already sustained spread terror through all ranks. A surrender was
