Duncan,<br>
Look again, it's in the section about the last battle. Caesar had sent his cavalry to attack the Gauls from the rear. Caesar's infantry are described as using their pila as thrusting weapons, upon hearing the cavalry attack the Gallic rear they threw their pila and drew their swords.<br>
