Livy I take it was biased against Caesar then.
I recall he was due a Triumph for his actions in Spain? This was his option
triumph or run for Consul.....? What are the accurate sources for the period before Caesar went to Gaul?
I would imagine there were many charges leveled against Caesar by the people his position threatened.....so they can be no less biased in their own postion than his own accounts of his own actions?
Quote:attacking the elderly of the Usipetes and Tencteri during an armistice, for example. Cato had proposed to surrender Caesar to the Germans - a very practical suggestion of course, given that Caesar commanded eight legions.The tribes along the coast that took his ambasadors hostage?

Visne partem mei capere? Comminus agamus! * Me semper rogo, Quid faceret Iulius Caesar? * Confidence is a good thing! Overconfidence is too much of a good thing.
