While these things passed in Spain, Trebonius, Caesar's lieutenant, who
had been left to carry on the siege of Marseilles, raised terraces for two
different attacks, and approached with his towers and galleries. One of the
attacks was on the side of the port; the other, towards the mouth of the Rhone, which empties itself into the sea,
bordering upon Spain and Gaul. For Marseilles is washed by the sea on three
sides, and can be approached by land only on the fourth; of which that part
where the citadel stands, being very strong by nature, because of a deep
valley that runs before it, requires a long and difficult siege. For the
completing of these works, Trebonius drew together, from all parts of the
province, a great number of workmen and beasts of carriage; ordered

Roscius and L. Caesar, having received this answer, departed for Capua, where they found Pompey and the
consuls, and laid before them Caesar's proposals. After deliberating upon
the affair, they sent a reply, in writing, by the same messengers, the
purport of which was: "That Caesar should quit Rimini, return to Gaul, and disband his army; which
conditions performed, Pompey would go into Spain. In the meantime, till Caesar gave
security for the performance of what he had promised, neither Pompey nor the
consuls would discontinue the levies."

It was, by no means, a fair proposal, that Caesar should be obliged to quite Rimini and return to Gaul, while Pompey held provinces and
legions that were none of his: that he should dismiss his army, whilst the
other was levying troops: and, that only a general promise of going into Spain should be given, without fixing a
day for his departure; by which evasion, was he to be found in Italy, even at the expiration of Caesar's
consulship, he could not yet be charged with breach of faith. His forbearing
too to appoint a time for a conference, and declining to approach nearer,
gave little reason to hope for a peace. He therefore sent Antony to Arretium, with five cohorts; remained
himself at Rimini, with two, where he resolved to
levy troops; and seizing Pisaurum, Fanum, and Ancona, left a cohor

The senate liked the proposal of a deputation to Pompey; but the great
difficulty was, to find deputies; every one, out of fear, refusing to charge
himself with that commission. For Pompey, at his departure from Rome, had declared in the senate, "That
he would esteem those who stayed beind, as no less guilty than those in
Caesar's camp." Thus three days were spent in debates and excuses. The
tribune L. Metellus had likewise been suborned by Caesar's enemies to
traverse his design, and hinder whatever he should propose. Which Caesar
coming to understand, and that he only wasted his time to no purpose; he set
out from Rome, without effecting what he intended,
and arrived in farther Gaul.
