Caesar (20.1-20.2)

After this achievement, Caesar left his forces among the Sequani to spend the winter,[*] while he himself, desirous of giving attention to matters at Rome, came down to Gaul along the Po,[*] which was a part of the province assigned to him; for the river called Rubicon separates the rest of Italy from Cisalpine Gaul.

Here he fixed his quarters and carried on his political schemes. Many came to see him, and he gave each one what he wanted, and sent all away in actual possession of some of his favours and hoping for more. And during all the rest of the time of his campaigns in Gaul, unnoticed by Pompey, he was alternately subduing the enemy with the arms of the citizens, or capturing and subduing the citizens with the money which he got from the enemy.
