WALKER'S CAMPAIGN MAP FOR CAESAR, GALLIC WAR 1.1-29.

EXPLANATION OF CAMPAIGN MAP Brown indicates the part of Transalpine Gaul which belonged to Rome when Caesar entered upon his command. Red indicates the states whose submission Caesar secured by conquering them in battle. The Boii are shown in the homes given them after their defeat. The Latobrigi and the Tulingi lived across the Rhine and are not shown on this map. The Ceutrones, the Graioceli, and the Caturiges were forced to permit the passage of the army, but were probably not reduced to submission, and are therefore left uncolored. Blue indicates the states which submitted without fighting. In chap. 30 we are told that envoys from "nearly all Gaul" came to Caesar as a result of his victory over the Helvetii. It is certain that Celtic Gaul is meant; therefore Aquitania and Belgium are left uncolored. In chap. 31 we are told that Ariovistus held a part of the territory of the Sequani; this is left uncolored. In II, 34 we are given a list of states which did not submit till 57; these also are left uncolored. All the rest of Celtic Gaul may be supposed to have submitted at the close of the war with the Helvetii; it is therefore colored blue. The line of march shows Caesar's route in crossing the Alps the second time, with the five legions. It also shows the route of the Helvetii after they left their territory. After crossing the Arar Caesar's route coincides with that of the Helvetii. Crossed sabers indicate battlefields. Colonel Stoffel's identification of the main battlefield (Histoire de Jules Cesar: Guerre Civile, II. 439-453) is almost certainly right and is indicated on chis map.
