C. Julius Caesar, Gallic War, Book 1, chapter 1 (search)
All Gaul is divided into three parts, one of which the Belgae inhabit, the Aquitani
another, those who in their own language are called Celts, in our Gauls, the third. All these
differ from each other in language, customs and laws. The river Garonne separates the Gauls from the
Aquitani; the
Marne
and the
Seine
separate them side of the
Sequani and the Helvetii, upon the
river
Rhine
, and stretches toward the north. The Belgae rises from the
extreme frontier of Gaul, extend to the lower part
of the river
Rhine
; and look toward the north and the rising sun.
Aquitania

When it was reported to Caesar that they were attempting
to make their route through our Province he hastens to set out from the city,
and, by as great marches as he can, proceeds to Further Gaul, and arrives
at Geneva. He orders the whole Province [to furnish] as great a number
of soldiers as possible, as there was in all only one legion in Further Gaul: he orders the bridge at
Gaul: he orders the bridge at
Geneva
to be broken down. When the Helvetii are
apprized of his arrival they send to him, as embassadors, the most illustrious
men of their state (in which embassy Numeius and
Verudoctius held the chief place), to say "that it was their
intention to march through the Province without doing any harm, because they
had" [according to their own representations,] "no other

Meanwhile, Caesar kept daily importuning the
Aedui for the corn which they had promised in the name of their
state; for, in consequence of the coldness (Gaul, being as before said,
situated toward the north), not only was the corn in the fields not ripe, but
there was not in store a sufficiently large quantity even of fodder: besides he
was unable to use the corn which he had conveyed in ships up the river
Saone
, because the Helvetii, from whom he was
unwilling to retire had diverted their march from the
Saone
. The Aedui kept deferring from day to day, and saying that
it was being collected-brought in-on the road." When he saw that he was put off
too long, and that the day was close at hand on which he ought to serve

Caesar, when he observes this, draws off his forces to
the next hill, and sent the cavalry to sustain the attack of the enemy. He
himself, meanwhile, drew up on the middle of the hill a triple line of his four
veteran legions in such a manner, that he placed above him on the very summit
the two legions, which he had lately levied in Hither Gaul, and all the
auxiliaries; and he ordered that the whole mountain should be covered with men,
and that meanwhile the baggage should be brought together into one place, and
the position be protected by those who were posted in the upper line. The
Helvetii having followed with all their wagons, collected their
baggage into one place: they themselves, after having repulsed our cavalry and
formed a phalanx, advanced up to our front l
