That's the one. What I like about that anecdote is the helplessness of Caesar and that he was alone, without a servant, staff officer, bodyguard. Where was his entourage? Why was he abandoned? A man who Generals an army in the many tens of thousands, the dictator of Rome, arguably the most powerful and richest man in Europe and North Africa, almost needing to resort to crawling on his hands and knees to find water, saved by a resourceful and caring common soldier. This scene to me truly demonstrates the chaos following a battle, the disorder caused by a rout.
