"And you're also loquacious. Slow. Boring. And loquacious," you say? It seems to me you're having a blast; otherwise, your incessant responses wouldn’t make sense: you don’t even know what we’re discussing anymore. Or rather, we’ve never talked about anything insightful. Cominqio (go Torkowsky, explain to me how to write 'comunque') I’m the one who’s starting to get bored: you keep using the same terms "boring" "slow"... Be creative, maybe you'll achieve your goal if you put in a little more effort. Oh, sorry, I almost forgot, if it annoys you that I keep copying and pasting what you write, just let me know, I only do it to avoid clarity issues. Actually, I’m not sure if it makes things clearer; but you know how the saying goes, right? that old story: "While Caesar was in Cisalpine Gaul and the legions had been stationed in winter camps, he frequently received reports, also confirmed by a letter from Labienus: all the Belgians, who represent, as we have said, one of the three parts of Gaul, were forming a league against the Roman people and exchanging hostages. The reasons for the alliance were the following. First, they feared that our army, once Gaul was subdued, would attack them. Second, they were under pressure from several Gauls (some had not wanted the presence of Germans in Gaul and, naturally, were not pleased with the Roman army wintering and settling in their country, and some, unstable and fickle in spirit, hoped for political upheavals) and then from many others: throughout Gaul, generally, the kingdoms were in the hands of those who had more power and means to recruit an army, and under our dominion they could not so easily achieve their objectives. The news and the letter from Labienus prompted Caesar to recruit two new legions in Cisalpine Gaul, and the legate Q. Pedius, at the beginning of summer, received the task of leading them into Transalpine Gaul. Caesar himself reached the army as soon as there began to be enough fodder. He ordered the Senones and other Gauls bordering the Belgians to find out and inform him what the Belgians were preparing. All of them reported back to him that recruitments were taking place and that troops were being concentrated in one place. Only then did Caesar believe there was no hesitation in moving against them. After preparing wheat supplies, he broke camp and arrived in the region of the Belgians in about fifteen days. His arrival was sudden and faster than anyone expected. The Remi, the Belgian people closest to Gaul, sent as ambassadors Iccius and Andocamborius, the most prominent among the citizens: they placed all their property under the protection and authority of the Roman people; they had not shared the sentiments of the other Belgians, nor had they joined the league against Rome; they were ready to deliver hostages, to carry out orders, and to welcome the Roman soldiers into their cities, to supply them with wheat and everything necessary; the other Belgians were already armed and had joined forces with the Germans settled this side of the Rhine; they were all seized by such a frenzy and madness that the Remi could not even dissuade their own brothers, the Suessiones: yet they shared laws and rights in common, being subject to a single military commander and civil magistrate... So just to know, you haven’t read it all, have you? Well, if you want, you can read the rest, but just so you know, what I'm writing is completely inconclusive :) Caesar asked the Remi how many and which peoples were armed and how valuable they were in war. Here’s what he found out: most of the Belgians descended from the Germans; they had formerly crossed the Rhine attracted by the fertility of the region and had occupied it, driving out the Gauls who lived there; at the time of our fathers, they had been the only ones to prevent the Cimbri and Teutons, who had set all of Gaul on fire, from penetrating their territories; therefore, recalling this deed, the Belgians attributed enormous importa
