      compliance with Caesar's requisition, was sent to the aid of the Romans against Vereingetorix,
      in <date when-custom="-52">B. C. 52</date>. He also informed Caesar of the designs of Litavieus, who
      was endeavouring to <pb n="42"/> draw the Aedui into the Gallic confederacy against Rome, and
      enabled him at first to counteract them. But soon afterwards he himself revolted, together
      with Viridomarus, and this completed the defection of his countrymen. Ambition was clearly his
      motive, for he was much mortified when the Gauls chose Vercingetorix for their
      commanderin-chief. (<bibl n="Caes. Gal. 7.34">Caes. Gal. 7.34</bibl>, <bibl n="Caes. Gal. 7.38">38</bibl>_<bibl n="Caes. Gal. 7.40">40</bibl>, <bibl n="Caes.

      command of an Aeduan force to the relief of Vercingetorix at Alesia, and a different one from
      the Eporedorix, who was previously taken prisoner by the Romans in a battle of cavalry, and
      who is mentioned as having commanded the Aedui in a war with the Sequani some time before
      Caesar's arrival in Gaul. (<bibl n="Caes. Gal. 7.67">Caes. Gal. 7.67</bibl>, <bibl n="Caes. Gal. 7.76">76</bibl>; <bibl n="D. C. 40.40">D. C. 40.40</bibl>.) </p><byline>[<ref target="author.E.E">E.E</ref>]</byline></div></div></body></text></TEI>
