Caesar's Conquest of the Belgai

Caesar had been able to convince at least one of the Belgic tribes that support for Rome was in their best interest. He marched the legions north to support his new ally and prevent the Belgai from coalescing into a single force. But he arrived too late and saw to his dismay that a huge army was gathered. With little internal cohesion except a hatred of the Romans to bind them, the Belgic army quickly evaporated as tribes returned home to protect their property. After that winter, with the Romans again building camps across the country, Caesar returned to Sis Alpine Gaul to attend his duties there.
