	Caesar defeats the Teutons (Suebi)
		Ariovistus had already conquered much of eastern Gallic territory only a few years prior, but Caesar was able to reverse the situation through diplomacy.
		Ariovistus was named a friend and ally of the Roman people, but this relationship proved to be short lived.
		Ariovistus it seems, viewed this part of Gaul as his territory, and Caesar's presence was considered a violation of their treaty.

		Moreover, Ariovistus, for his part, had assumed to himself such pride and arrogance, that he was felt to be quite insufferable.
		Perceiving that Ariovistus kept himself in camp, Caesar, that he might not any longer be cut off from provisions, chose a convenient position for a camp beyond that place in which the Germans had encamped, at about 600 paces from them, and having drawn up his army in three lines, marched to that place.
		Thither Ariovistus sent light troops, about 16,000 men in number, with all his cavalry; which forces were to intimidate our men, and hinder them in their fortification.

		They all expressed the greatest fear lest their request should be known to Ario-vistus, and the Sequani regarded him with such awe, that they durst not utter a word to Caesar, but only shewed their misery by their downcast looks.
		These demands were refused in the same haughty tone of defiance which Ariovistus had before used in declining an interview proposed by Caesar.
		The battle ended by the total defeat of Ariovistus, who immediately fled with his army to the Rhine, a distance of 50 miles from the field.

		Cæsar accordingly sent a messenger across the Rhine to Ariovistus, saying that he wished to have an interview with him on business of importance, and asking him to name a time which would be convenient to him for the interview, and also to appoint some place in Gaul where he would attend.
		Cæsar sent again to Ariovistus to say, that since he was so unmindful of his obligations to the Roman people as to refuse an interview with him on business of common interest, he would state the particulars that he required of him.
		Ariovistus, instead of waiting to be attacked, assembled his army, crossed the Rhine, and advanced into the territories from which Cæsar had undertaken to exclude him.

		Ariovistus all this time kept his army in camp: but engaged daily in cavalry skirmishes.
		Among the latter was Ariovistus, who meeting with a small vessel tied to the bank, escaped in it; our horse pursued and slew all the rest of them.
		Ariovistus had two wives, one a Suevan by nation, whom he brought with him from home; the other a Norican, the sister of king Vocion, whom he had married in Gaul, she having been sent [thither for that purpose] by her brother.

		There followed a series of manoevers in which Caesar tried to bring Ariovistus to battle but the German refused repeatedly, claiming the augurs were not auspicious.
		In fact, Ariovistus was awaiting reinforcements from his Suebi, a fact known to Caesar.
		Ariovistus was driven back over the Rhine, which he never crossed again.

		Chapter 34 He therefore determined to send embassadors to Ariovistus to demand of him to name some intermediate spot for a conference between the two, [saying] that he wished to treat him on state-business and matters of the highest importance to both of them.
		Chapter 38 When he had proceeded three days' journey, word was brought to him that Ariovistus was hastening with all his forces to seize on Vesontio, which is the largest town of the Sequani, and had advanced three days' journey from its territories.
		Chapter 42 Upon being apprized of Caesar's arrival, Ariovistus sends embassadors to him, [saying] that what he had before requested as to a conference, might now, as far as his permission went, take place, since he [Caesar] had approached nearer, and he considered that he might now do it without danger.

		To this embassy Ariovistus replied, that if he himself had had need of anything from Caesar, he would have gone to him; and that if Caesar wanted anything from him he ought to come to him.
		Then, the other legions endeavoured, through their military tribunes and the centurions of the principal companies, to excuse themselves to Caesar, [saying] that they had never either doubted or feared, or supposed that the determination of the conduct of the war was theirs and not their general's.
		XLIX.--Perceiving that Ariovistus kept himself in camp, Caesar, that he might not any longer be cut off from provisions, chose a convenient position for a camp beyond that place in which the Germans had encamped, at about 600 paces from them, and having drawn up his army in three lines, marched to that place.

		Later that year, the Gallic Aedui tribe asked for Roman assistance against their rivals, the Sequani, who had launched an invasion led by the German war leader Ariovistus.
		Caesar intervened in the conflict and soundly defeated Ariovistus, driving his forces back across the Rhine.
		In 57 BC he once again intervened in an intra-Gallic conflict, marching against the Belgae, who inhabited the area roughly bounded by modern-day Belgium and had recently attacked a tribe allied with Rome.

	Battle of Massilia, Late Fall 240BC
		Ventius was to be supported in the adventure, but Ariovistus and his supporting Gallic warband were delayed and unable to make Massilia in time for initial operations.
		Ariovistus was once again to support operations in Massilia, but fortune would once again cause delays and no support was to arrive[1].
		Rumors have surfaced that there is a deep hatred between Ariovistus and Venturtius but with all such barbarians it is hard to determine fact from fiction.

	Ariovistus and the Suebi
		As Ariovistus made incursions against the Roman allied Gallic Celts, Caesar sought initially to resolve the matter diplomatically, at least according to his writings.
		Ariovistus, the Suebi chief, had already conquered much of eastern Gallic territory only a few years prior, but Caesar was able to reverse the situation through diplomacy.
		Caesar while acknowledging this very simple and parallel Roman principal suggested that Ariovistus’ rights were null and void due to his failure to help against the Helvetii.

		The latter called in the aid of the Germans, of whom at first about 15,000 crossed the Rhine, and their report of the wealth and fertility of Gaul soon attracted large bodies of fresh invaders.
		At their head was Ariovistus, whose name is supposed to have been Latinized from Heer, " a host," and Furst^ " a prince," and who was so powerful as to receive from the Roman senate the title of amicus.
		But it fared worse with the conquerors than the conquered, for Ariovistus first seized a third part of the Sequanian territory, as the price of the triumph which he had won for them, and soon after demanded a second portion of equal extent.

		Moreover, it would seem to imply that Ariovistus had already completed the three days' journey `from his own territory' - that is, from the territory which he had wrested from the Sequani (31, §10) when Caesar's informant started on his errand.
		Ariovistus meant that in keeping an army at all in Gaul, outside the Province, Caesar was doing wrong.
		Ariovistus might attack if he liked: but if he attacked, it would be at his peril, if he declined the challenge, the legionaries would be assured that the Germans were not invincible.

	Chapter Reign Of Clovis. of History of The Decline And Fall of The Roman Empire by Gibbon
		Whatever might be the strength, or courage, of individuals, the victorious Barbarians excelled in the love and exercise of arms; and the vanquished Roman was unjustly summoned to repeat, in his own person, the bloody contest which had been already decided against his country.
		One third part of the fertile lands of the Sequani was appropriated to their use; and the conqueror soon repeated his oppressive demand of another third, for the accommodation of a new colony of twenty-four thousand Barbarians, whom he had invited to share the rich harvest of Gaul.
		But this distribution, instead of spreading over the province, may be reasonably confined to the peculiar districts where the victorious people had been planted by their own choice, or by the policy of their leader.

		Before the arrival of Caesar in Gaul, the.Sequani had taken the part of the Arverni against their rivals the Aedui and hired the Germans under Ariovistus to cross the Rhine and help them (71 B.c.).
		But although his assistance enabled them to defeat the,Aedui, the Sequani were worse off than before, for Ariovistus deprived them of a third of their territory and threatened to take another third.
		The Sequani then appealed to Caesar, who drove back the Germans (58), but at the same time obliged the Sequani to surrender all that they had gained from the Aedui.

		Like any good barbarian, Ariovistus had taken advantage of the invitation and used it as a pretense to move his people into the Sequani territory.
		The Sequani apparently didn't think that, once Ariovistus helped them, he might not be compelled to return beyond the Rhine.
		Finding himself surrounded be a now weakened gaggle of Gauls, Ariovistus rightly assumed that, as the pre- eminent military power in the region, he might be able to exploit the Sequani lands for use by his own people and as a possible base for further expansion.

		The officers, very much ashamed of themselves, begged to be allowed to go forward, and so the whole army set out, marching so quickly and so well that in a few days they reached the German camp.
		Ariovistus and his men were surprised and downcast at the sight of their enemy.
		Such speed on the march seemed almost magical, and they grew sadder than ever on being warned by their soothsayers not to give battle before the new moon, as until then the mystic signs foretold defeat.

		Ariovistus ad postulata Caesaris pauca respondit, de suis virtutibus multa praedicavit: transisse Rhenum sese non sua sponte, sed rogatum et arcessitum a Gallis; non sine magna spe magnisque praemiis domum propinquosque reliquisse; sedes habere in Gallia ab ipsis concessas, obsides ipsorum voluntate datos; stipendium capere iure belli, quod victores victis imponere consuerint.
		Biduo post Ariovistus ad Caesarem legatos misit: velle se de iis rebus quae inter eos egi coeptae neque perfectae essent agere cum eo: uti aut iterum conloquio diem constitueret aut, si id minus vellet, ex suis legatis aliquem ad se mitteret.
