Cajus Julius Caesar Page #3

---

The Gauls accomplish little against

the military well-trained Romans,

and have to flee.

The catapults (ballistic machines)

cause great havoc among the Gauls.

With an extreme effort the

Gauls succeed for a while in

driving the Romans on the run.

...but eventually they have

to yield to Caesar's brave.

In vain the Gauls seek

refuge in Alesia...

...because that night already

this strong fortress is in

the possession of the Romans.

After the defeat of the Gauls.

Victors and vanquished.

Friends and enemies of Caesar await

impatiently in the "Curia Hostilia"

(senate's meeting place)...

...for messages of the

Gaul's desperate fight.

We bring good tiding!

Messages of victory

from the great Caesar!

Vercingetorix is the prisoner

of Caesar. The Roman eagle

now controls all of Gaul.

Because of the glorious victories

the hate has been set of even more...

...between the members of

the republican party of Cato

and the followers of Caesar.

The majority of the members

of the senate vote to remove

the consulship from Caesar.

The eloquent arguments of Caesar's

follower Curio are in vain. The

The next morning the official

...and sees in him only a powerful

opponent of the republican party.

Cajus Julius Caesar hail!

We charge you to disband your legions

and remove you from consulship.

My legions will bring the response

to the senate themselves. And you,

fear not. Your life is sacred to me.

Caesar makes the message of the

senate known to his centurions.

Cajus Julius Caesar hail!

We charge you to disband your legions

and remove you from consulship.

The centurions, who know Brutus'

hate of Caesar, throw dice,

who of them will kill Brutus.

But the watchful father's love

protects the life of Brutus.

Stop! Not with the dagger in the

dark. I tolerate no assins among

my men. This life is sacred to me.

Expect no gratitude from me! I will

despise all my life those, who like

you, are enemies of the republic.

Caesar moves forwards with his

legions until the river Rubicon.

(The assumed border of Italy proper.)

The grand events in Roman history.

Roman marches on Roman!

"Alea jacte est!"

("The die is cast!")

The Roman eagle marches

on its fathercity.

In Rome there's great excitement
