This present edition follows in the main the lines of the edition of Books III. and IV. To quote from the preface to that book : ' ' In the editor's opinion, the first aim of a teacher of Latin is to enable the student to read Latin with accuracy, appreci- ation and speed, as the only means of reaching the higher ideals of classical studj'. In this edition therefore the con- stant aim has been to further the intelligent translation of the text into idiomatic English, and to build up a sound knowledge of Latin as a language to be read. "In the annotations of the earlier chapters, the editor has recognized the fact that the the student of Latin meets his greatest difficulties when he comes for the first time to read a Latin author. In later chapters the amount of help given is gradualU" reduced. TSTiile unnecessary help has be«u avoided, no difficulty has been left without an explanation as simple as could be framed ; and in estimating difficulties the standpoint of the young student, not of the advanced scholar, has been taken." It will be observed that, even where the notes are fullest, the student is left to do the real work of ti'anslation himself. To render passage after passage for the stu<lent is b\' no means a real help or a kindness to him. As one means of setting him in the way of gfetting the translation for himself, frequent ii PREFACE. reference is made to the 'liints and suggestions for the trans- lation of Caesar's Latin. ' To these liave been added in this edition suggestions for retranslation of Englisli intoCaesarean Latin, that will be found, perhajjs, still more useful. Other new features are an adaption of the first chapter, rewritten in simpler and shorter sentences, to make the intro- duction to Caesar's connected prose more gradual for those who have as yet had to do only with detached sentences ; a list of the words most commonly used by Caesar ; a running analysis of the story in the notes ; and an entirely new, and it is believed, full and accurate vocabulary to the whole of Caesar's Bellum Gallicum. The notes of a more advanced character added to each chapter have been continued, at much cost of time and labor, in the belief that the close study, bj^ teachers or advanced uuiDils. of the Latinity of even a portion of a single author is a great help to the ready and full appreciation of the meaning and style of all other Latin authors.

At the time of Caesar's bixth Rome had become mistress of all the lands bordering on the Mediterranean, so that foreign wars of conquest had virtually ceased, and during his boyhood commenced that struggle for supremacj' in the State called the civil wars. This was at first a contest between the aristocratic and the popular party, but, as time went on, it became practi- cally a struggle between individuals for personal supremacy. Caius Julius Caesar was bom in 100 B.C. (or, as the historian IV INTRODUCTION. Momnisen holds, in 102 B.C. ), of oiin of the oldest of the patri- cian or aristocratic families of E,ome. The family was, how- ever, closely connected by maiTiage with the great popular leader Marius, and Ctesar himself in 83 married the daughter of Cinna, Marius' leading supporter. His sympathies were thus from the first with the popular party, and on the defeat of that party by Sulla in 82, he barely escaped with his life. For seA'eral 3'ears after this Caesar served in the Koman army in Asia Minor, returning to Rome after Sulla's death in 78. At first he devoted himself to public oratorj^ in the law courts, and in 76 went to Rhodes to study rhetoric under the famous teacher Molo. For several years after his return to E.ome in 74 he busied himself in strengthening his position with his party, and soon came to be looked on as one of its leaders. The senatorial party was at this time supreme, and Caesar had to win his way to power gradually. He went through the various grades of office by which Roman citizens rose to the rank of Consul, being in succession Quaestor, Curule Aedile, and Praetor. In 63 he was elected Pontifex Maximus, becoming technically the head of the Roman religion. This success over the aristocratic party showed clearly that its power was wan- ing, and that Caesar was now one of the leaders of the Roman state. In 61, immediately after his Praetorship, he went to Spain as Propi'aetor or Military Governor. Here, in his first com- mand, he at once showed his ability as a general, in quelling the rebellious native tribes. His manner of living at Rome (for he was not only one of the ablest but one of the most dis- solute of men dux'ing the earlier period of his manhood), and the means by which he had obtained office and ingratiated himself with the people, had plunged him heavily into debt. But the Governor of a Roman province had plenty of opportunities for enriching himself at the expense of the provincials, and one year in Spain freed him from all his debts, as well as making him known as a brilliant commander. INTKODUCTION. V Tti no he returned to the city and was elected Consul for 59, vith a, colleague of the aristocratic party, who was, however, t<)o ^^ eak and insignificant to be able to thwart his measures. The three leading men of Kome at this time were Pompey, representing the nobles ; Caesar, the leader of the popular influence was to his party ; and Crassus, whose largely due immense wealth. Caesar persuaded the other two to form a coalition with him, and thus get the practical supremacy of the state in their own hands. In the end this bargain proved to be entirely to Caesar's advantage, as it prevented any active opposition to him during the next few years while he was absent from Rome securing for himself experience, prestige, and a veteran army to assist him when the final struggle for supremacy came. For one of the results of the coalition was that Caesar was appointed for five years (58 to 54) governor of Illyricum and the two Gauls, Cisalpine and Transalpine, (the former being the northern part of Italy above the peninsula proper, and the latter the southern part of Fi'ance). In 55 this command was extended for another period of five years, by an agreement with Pompey and Crassus, who were consuls that year. For eight years (58 to 51) he was engaged in the conquest of GauL At the end of that time the whole of Gaul, from the E-hine to the Pyrenees, had been subjugated and made part of the Jtoman empire, and Caesar had an army of experienced and devoted veterans, such as the Roman state had never before witnessed. Crassus had fallen in battle in the far East, and Caesar and Pompey remained to compete for absolute suprem- acy in Rome, Pompey liaving the somewhat lukewarm support of the Senate and the aristocratical party. Civil war soon arose from the jealousy between these two rivals, and in 49 Caesar advanced with his legions into Italy. Pompey was not ready to oppose him, and crossed to Greece where the Senatorial party gathered its forces. Meanwhile Caesar hastened to Spain, where Pompey had strong supi^orters, — — VI INTRODUCTION. anrl quickly reduced them to submission. Returning t<^) Komc he was made Consul for 48 and then crossed over to Greece. After a short summer campaign Pompey was decisively defeated at Pharsalia, and fleeing to Egypt was assassinated there After short campaigns in S^-ria and Asia Minor (47) and Africa (46), in which all remaining opposition was crushed, Caesar returned to Eome and occupied himself in securing his power and settling affairs of state, surprising many by the clemency he showed to those who had lately opposed him.

Loseby, 1995 Introduction Map 15 Arelate–Massalia Map 16 Colonia Forum Iulii–Albingaunum All the French départements covered here were treated in the CAGR series, beginning with its first volume, Alpes-Maritimes, in 1931. Its successor CAG is far more comprehensive, although unfortunately both maps were compiled before publication of the relevant volumes. Some references to them are incorporated in the Directories, however. Provence and Languedoc have in recent years been among the most dynamic regions of France in archaeological terms. As well as the periodic entries in Gallia Informations, the archaeology of the region sustains a series of journals, notably the Revue Archéologique de Narbonnaise, Documents d’Archéologie Méridionale, Bulletin d’Archéologie de Provence, Archéologie en Languedoc,andRevue des Etudes Ligures/Rivista di Studi Liguri.A comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the ancient history and archaeology of the region is lacking (Rivet 1988 is the best single work available); Bromwich (1993) at least provides a basic guide to the principal Greek and Roman remains. Of the numerous sites known exclusively from archaeology, only those significant enough to have attracted at least an article-length study are marked. The whole span from early Greek engagement with the region (c. 600 B.C.) is covered, up until c. A.D. 500; locations mentioned only in works associated with Caesarius of Arles are therefore excluded. From Cap Couronne eastwards (see La Couronne, Map 15 E3), the Provençal coastline appears to be little altered since antiquity, while on the western side of Map 15 the evolution of the shores of Languedoc has largely been gradual and minor–involving the shifting and consolidation of the sandbars which now separate the coastal étangs (lagoons) from the sea, but which seem to have been less developed in antiquity.

    Cesare La minaccia degli Elvezi e le contromisure di Cesare (De bello Gallico, 1,10-11) Alla notizia che gli Elvezi si stanno spostando verso un territorio limitrofo a quello controllato dai Romani, Cesare intuisce subito il pericolo che deriverebbe dall’avere vicino una popola- zione così fiera e bellicosa. Con la rapidità di pensiero e di azione che gli sono connaturate, organizza un complesso piano militare che riuscirà persino a modificarein itinere: gli Edui, mi- nacciati dagli Elvezi, spingono infatti Cesare a intervenire prima di quanto egli avesse previsto. © Mondadori Education [10,1] A Cesare fu riferito che gli Elvezi avevano intenzione di marciare attraverso le terre dei Sequani e degli Edui verso il paese dei Santoni1, che non è molto lontano dal paese dei Tolosati, nazione che è compresa nella provincia. [2] Se ciò fosse accaduto, Cesare comprendeva che sarebbe stato un grande pericolo per la provincia avere ai propri confini una popolazione bellicosa, nemica del popolo romano, in luoghi aperti e ricchissimi di frumento.

    Map 17 Lugdunum Compiled by E

    Map 17 Lugdunum Compiled by E. Bertrand, 1997 Introduction From both geographic and economic perspectives, the area covered by the map divides into three zones, west to east. In the west, the economy of the Massif Central (ancient Cebenna Mons) depended upon animal husbandry, forestry and mining. Ancient authors (note Strabo 4.6.9) emphasize how hard life was in the high mountains, and this zone–like the Alps to the east–was resistant to romanization. The Alps (where the economy was similar) formed a natural boundary; securing its passes became a necessity for Roman administration. Both before and after the conquest, these passes were used more than the coast road for traffic between Italy and Gaul, and they remain vital economic arteries for the area. It has always been difficult to identify the minor towns and road stations located in the Alps by the ancient itineraries, in particular because of considerable erosion which has buried many sites beneath alluvium. In the center, the romanization of the R. Rhône (ancient Rhodanus) valley was more rapid and more complete. In the fertile land of the Rhône plains there remain traces of extensive Roman centuriation linked to the colonies there. Archaeological survey has also located numerous villas in this zone, although very few are excavated. The Rhône and the roads along it were a key axis in the economic relationship between Italy, Gaul and Spain. Major changes to the physical landscape since antiquity are few. In the Alps, a number of reservoirs have been constructed; notably, at Serre-Ponçon such development has led to the submersion of several valleys near Vappincum.

A PRELIMINARY THEORETICAL REMARK. The number of varieties documented for a certain language is inversely proportional to the fixedness of a literary code within the the same linguistic tradition. In particular, the richness of diatopic varieties documented in the ancient Gaulish territories was emphasized by Whatmough in the middle of the past century, and the coexistence of various dialects of an ancient type of Celtic2 could also be proved for the Iberian Peninsula.3 Although much more work is to be done in order to identify all individual isoglosses and study their dispersion, we offer here some evidence regarding a specific one. 1. *yo > ye IN LIGURIAN ONOMASTICS.

    Grammatical Appendix from Caesar: Selections fr om his Commentarii De Bello Gallico Introduction Th is Appendix is a revision of the one that bears the same title in Arthur Tappan Walker’s Caesar’s Gallic War with Introduction, Notes, Vocabulary, and Grammatical Appendix (Chicago and New York: Scott Foresman and Company, 1907), pp. 424–528. Examples derive primarily from Caesar’s Commentariī, but a few derive from Cicero. Refer- ences to Caesar provide book, chapter, and verse: 1.1.1 would, for example, refer to the fi rst sentence of Caesar’s Dē bellō Gallicō. Examples from Caesar’s other works include the title and, if from Cicero, name and title. Pronunciation Quantity of Vowels 1. A vowel is usually short: a. Before another vowel or before h; as ineō, nihil. b. Before nd and nt; as in laudandus, laudant. c. In words with more than one syllable, before any fi nal consonant other than s; as in laudem, laudat. (But compare laudās.) 2. A vowel is long: a. Before nf, ns, nx, and nct; as in īnferō, cōnsul, iūnxī, iūnctum. b. When it results from contraction; as in īsset, from iisset. 3. A vowel is usually long: a. In one syllable words (monosyllables) not ending in b, d, l, m, or t; as in mē, hīc (but compare ab and ad where the vowels are short). Pronunciation of Vowels 4. In classical Latin pronunciation, long vowels, whether they were accented or not, were supposed to receive twice the time given to the pronunciation of short vowels. In English, we generally give more time only to the vowels in accented syllables.

    BOOK 1 Chapter 1 All Gaul Is Divided Into Three Parts, One of Which The

    BOOK 1 Chapter 1 All Gaul is divided into three parts, one of which the Belgae inhabit, the Aquitani another, those who in their own language are called Celts, in our Gauls, the third. All these differ from each other in language, customs and laws. The river Garonne separates the Gauls from the Aquitani; the Marne and the Seine separate them from the Belgae. Of all these, the Belgae are the bravest, because they are furthest from the civilization and refinement of [our] Province, and merchants least frequently resort to them, and import those things which tend to effeminate the mind; and they are the nearest to the Germans, who dwell beyond the Rhine, with whom they are continually waging war; for which reason the Helvetii also surpass the rest of the Gauls in valor, as they contend with the Germans in almost daily battles, when they either repel them from their own territories, or themselves wage war on their frontiers. One part of these, which it has been said that the Gauls occupy, takes its beginning at the river Rhone; it is bounded by the river Garonne, the ocean, and the territories of the Belgae; it borders, too, on the side of the Sequani and the Helvetii, upon the river Rhine, and stretches toward the north. The Belgae rises from the extreme frontier of Gaul, extend to the lower part of the river Rhine; and look toward the north and the rising sun. Aquitania extends from the river Garonne to the Pyrenaean mountains and to that part of the ocean which is near Spain: it looks between the setting of the sun, and the north star.

    LA GUERRA GALLICA di Caio Giulio Cesare www.writingshome.com Caio Giulio Cesare – La guerra gallica 2 www.writingshome.com Caio Giulio Cesare – La guerra gallica LIBRO PRIMO 1 La Gallia è, nel suo complesso, divisa in tre parti: la prima la abitano i Belgi, l'altra gli Aquitani, la terza quelli che nella loro lingua prendono il nome di Celti, nella nostra, di Galli. I tre popoli differiscono tra loro per lingua, istituzioni e leggi. Il fiume Garonna divide i Galli dagli Aquitani, la Marna e la Senna li separano dai Belgi. Tra i vari popoli i più forti sono i Belgi, ed eccone i motivi: sono lontanissimi dalla finezza e dalla civiltà della nostra provincia; i mercanti, con i quali hanno scarsissimi contatti, portano ben pochi fra i prodotti che tendono a indebolire gli animi; confinano con i Germani d'oltre Reno e con essi sono continuamente in guerra. Anche gli Elvezi superano in valore gli altri Galli per la stessa ragione: combattono con i Germani quasi ogni giorno, o per tenerli lontani dai propri territori o per attaccarli nei loro. La parte in cui, come si è detto, risiedono i Galli, inizia dal Rodano, è delimitata dalla Garonna, dall'Oceano, dai territori dei Belgi, raggiunge anche il Reno dalla parte dei Sequani e degli Elvezi, è volta a settentrione. La parte dei Belgi inizia dalle più lontane regioni della Gallia, si estende fino al corso inferiore del Reno, guarda a settentrione e a oriente. L'Aquitania, invece, va dalla Garonna fino ai Pirenei e alla parte dell'Oceano che bagna la Spagna, è volta a occidente e a settentrione.
