Translation from Caesar's Gallic Wars

"All of Gaul is divided into three parts, one of which the Belgae live in, the Aquitani live in another, and those who in their own language are called Celts, in our language called Gauls, the third. These all differ from each other in customs, laws, and language. The river Garonne separates the Gauls from the Aquitani; the Marne and the Seine separate them from the Belgae."

The Gallic Wars were a series of military campaigns waged by Caesar against several Gallic tribes, 

lasting from 58-51 BC. These wars paved the way for Caesar to become the sole ruler of the Roman 

Republic. The campagin was painstakingly described by Caesar in his commentary, Commentarii De 

Bello Gallico, which is an important historical source.

under Orgetorix.

1. An Philippus, rex Macedonum, voluisset Alexandro, filio suo, prima elementa litterarum tradi ab Aristotele, summo eius aetatis philosopho, aut hic suscepisset illud maximum officium, nisi initia studiorum pertinere ad summam sapientissime credidissent?

4.       Vivamus mea Lesbia, atque amemus,

rumoresque senum severiorum
omnes unius aestimemus assis!
soles occidere et redire possunt:
nobis cum semel occidit brevis lux,
nox est perpetua una dormienda.
da mi basia mille, deinde centum,
dein mille altera, dein secunda centum,
deinde usque altera mille, deinde centum.
dein, cum milia multa fecerimus,
conturbabimus illa, ne sciamus,
aut ne quis malus inuidere possit,
cum tantum sciat esse basiorum.

                        -- Catullus 5

We live and we love, my Lesbia

rumors and [senum severiorum]

all [unius] we estimate [assis]!

they are only able to [occidere] and [redire]

with our [semel occidit] brief light,

night is perpetual in sleep.

Give to me a thousand kisses, then one hundread,

then another thousand, then a second hundred, 

then [usque] another thousand, then one hundred.

Then, we will make many with [milia],

we will [conturbabimus] that man, we will not know,

but which he is not able to [inuidere] bad, 

with much he knows to be kisses.

        metallis redibat, largitione magistratuum quotannis interiret, ille 

        persuasit populo ut ea pecunia classis centum navium 

        aedificaretur. Qua celeriter effecta primum Corcyraeos fregit, 

        deinde maritimos praedones consectando mare tutum reddidit.
