In the meantime, according to his daily to the camp and spends a great part of the day; io his horse cast their weapons, and with very insulting language call out our men to battle. No reply being given by our men, when they thought proper, depart toward evening in a disorderly and scattered manner. , Labienus unexpectedly sends out all the cavalry by two gates; gives this command and prohibition, that, when the enemy, and 15 were put to flight (which he foresaw would happen, as it see-bat), they should all make for Indutiomarus that no one whom she had earlier slain, the slain man, than that he sees him, he did not want to escape him of gaining time by the delay over the rest; He offers great rewards to those who should kill him: 20, and the reward; sends troops to support the horse.The issue justifies the policy of the man, and when they all aimed at Indutiomarus is slain and his head was caught in the very ford of the river back to the camp; horse, when returning, all whom they can, 25, pursue and kill each other.

Archaeologists have unearthed walls about 1m (3ft) thick at Tintagel Castle in Cornwall
ENGLISH HERITAGE
The royal residence of 6th Century rulers is believed to have been discovered at the legendary birthplace of King Arthur.
Archaeologists have unearthed walls about 1m (3ft) thick at Tintagel Castle in Cornwall in the first excavation of a five-year English Heritage project.
It is thought the walls formed part of the seat of the rulers of the early medieval kingdom of Dumnonia.
Winn Scutt from English Heritage said it was a "very dense settlement".
"It's a complex of buildings and many people since the 1980s have argued that it's a royal centre, and that it's the royal centre of the kingdom of Dumnonia", the properties curator said.
"We haven't found any others, so it's quite possible that this was the centre, and maybe they were static."
ENGLISH HERITAGE
Some of the buildings had been excavated in the 1930s by the British archaeologist Ralegh Radford who had thought they formed part of a monastery, Mr Scutt said.
He added the excavations did not tell us "anything" about King Arthur, the legendary ruler who was conceived at Tintagel Castle according to the 12th Century writer Geoffrey of Monmouth.
Discoveries at the site also include large amounts of pottery from the eastern Mediterranean used for olive oil and wine, as well as Merovingian glass and fine Phocaean tableware from the west coast of Turkey.
ENGLISH HERITAGE
Mr Scutt said the richness of the discoveries made Tintagel "one of the most important sites in western Europe".
"It isn't just a trading centre to move olive oil around, they're actually indulging in it, they're feasting here", he said.
English Heritage has appointed Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) to carry out the excavations which form the first major research project of the area since the 1990s.

sending slaves to the Vikings in Dublin
sending slaves to the Vikings in Dublin, Ireland
Exactly when the city was founded is unknown. The earliest relic is a silver coin in the Royal Collection at Stockholm, Sweden. The coin bears the image of Ethelred Unrede (978 – 1016) and was minted in Bricgstowe (Bristol) by a man named Aelfweld. If Bristol was important enough to have a mint by 978 it must have been in existance sometime before then.
It is fairly certain that no town existed here before 577 AD. The reason being that in 577 two Saxon kings (Cuthwine and Ceawlin) fought and killed three British kings (Commail, Condidan and Farinmail) at a village called Dyrham near Pucklechurch, just outside of the present city. Although the towns of Bath, Gloucester and Cirencester are mentioned in the account of this battle, Bristol isn’t mentioned at all, even though it would have been closer than those mentioned.
Thus, Bristol was founded sometime between 577 and 978 AD. Even by this latter date the town was known to be dealing sending slaves to the Vikings in Dublin, Ireland.
Bridges at this time were of vital importance. There are three reasons why Bristol, as a port, is situated 7 miles inland with access to ships up a very tortuous river. A bridge across the Avon nearer it’s mouth would have been technologically very difficult, the land there was very prone to flooding and the town would have been very exposed to attack. Ships would make their way up the Avon until they reached Bristol Bridge and lay beached at low tide on the mud ready to be unloaded.

Zoo wardens could use the recorded call of an escaped lynx's mother in a bid to capture it.
The wild cat, named Flaviu, was reported missing from Dartmoor Zoo on Thursday.Staff believe the animal is on farmland around the zoo, near Plymouth.
Bedding from the creature's former home at Port Lympne Reserve in Kent will also be used as the round-the-clock search continues.
More on the missing wild cat, plus more Devon and Cornwall news
He said: "Flaviu is a bit of a mummy's boy, so we think he is really missing his mum.
"That is why he could have escaped last week, because he was trying to get back to her."
Flaviu arrived in Dartmoor on Wednesday.
Mr Mee said he was sure Flaviu was still in the area.
He added: "We have definite signs - we would have expected to catch a badger or a fox by now, but something is scaring them off.
"Livestock in the area is herding around its young protectively and our wolves are prowling in that direction."
He said Flaviu would not be starving as he had been used to catching wild animals at his former home.
He also asked people to stay away or the operation could be compromised.
Police have also said Flaviu, which is the size of a large domesticated cat, could be dangerous if cornered.
