	Gaius Julius Caesar: Commentaries on the Gallic War, Book 2
		The Bellovaci, withdrawing from the warfare to return home, are pursued by the Romans and suffer severely.—XII.
		That the Bellovaci were the most powerful among them in valor, influence, and the number of men; that these could muster 100,000 armed men, [and had] promised 60,000 picked men out of that number, and demanded for themselves the command of the whole war.
		“The Bellovaci had at all times been in the alliance and friendship of the Aeduan state; that they had revolted from the Aedui and made war upon the Roman people, being urged thereto by their nobles, who said that the Aedui, reduced to slavery by Caesar, were suffering every indignity and insult.

		As soon as his troops were collected, he marched against the Bellovaci: and pitching his camp in their territories, detached troops of horse all round the country, to take prisoners, from whom he might learn the enemy's plan.
		After spending several days in the same camp, the guards of the Bellovaci, learning that Caius Trebonius was advancing nearer with his legions, and fearing a siege like that of Alesia, send off by night all who were disabled by age or infirmity, or unarmed, and along with them their whole baggage.
		That, however, the Bellovaci had derived from the battle one advantage, of some importance, considering their loss; that Correus, the author of the rebellion, and agitator of the people, was slain: for that while he lived the senate had never equal influence in the state with the giddy populace.

	COMMIUS REX ATREBATUM
		"As soon as his troops were collected, he marched against the Bellovaci: and pitching his camp in their territories, detached troops of horse all round the country, to take prisoners, from whom he might learn the enemy's plan.
		The horse, having executed his orders bring him back word, that but few were found in the houses: and that even these had not stayed at home to cultivate their lands (for the emigration was general from all parts) but had been sent back to watch our motions.

	Bellovaci
		Bellovaci is one of the topics in focus at Global Oneness.
		In 52 BC the Atrebates joined the pan-Gaulish revolt led by Vercingetorix, and Commius was one of the leaders of the army that attempted to relieve Vercingetorix at the Siege of Alesia.
		Main article: Bishop of Beauvais-Noyons-Senlis The early bishops of Beauvais are largely legendary, but a document records that the bishop who occupied the see from 632 to 660 was the thirteenth incumbent.[1] The see, near Paris and the centers of power, was a desirable one.

		Of course, one man could hardly steer a nation down a dangerous course without any consent from the people and the powerful families, especially considering this tribe took part in last year's general uprising.
		But I decided the Bellovaci's present condition was punishment enough, and let them off lightly.
		Once again the cowardly Bellovaci have resorted to small-unit ambushes of our foraging parties.

	Belgae Information
		Tribes who belonged to the Belgae included the warlike and influential Bellovaci who took a leading role in the councils of the Belgae, the Suessiones with territories as well in Britannia, the warlike Nervii, the Atrebates, Ambiani, Morini, Menapii, Caleti, Veliocasses, Viromandui.
		He writes that the Belgae were conspiring and arming themselves in response to his earlier conquests, and in response to this threat he raised two new legions and ordered his Gallic allies the Aedui to invade the territory of the Bellovaci.
		Realising they could not dislodge the Romans and aware of the approach of the Aedui to the lands of the Bellovaci, the Belgae decided to disband their combined force and return to their own lands.

	The Celtic Tribes of Roman Gaul
		As a tribe, the Bellovaci occupied the region of the current French department of Oise and seem to have been the predominant craftsmen of the Belgic tribes.
		After their defeat the capital of the Bellovaci's territory became Caesaromagus (modern-day Beauvais whose name is derived from that of the tribe).
		Caesar mentions that the Suessiones were in conflict with the neighbouring Bellovaci, though by the time of Caesar the Suessiones may have become the more powerful and had client tribes in the form of the Meldi and the Silvanecti (as indicated by territorial and numismatic evidence).

		The Bellovaci in particular, equal to the Suessiones in power, and already dissatisfied that the supreme command of the confederate army had not fallen to them, could no longer be detained after news had arrived that the Haedui as allies of the Romans were making preparations to enter the Bellovacic territory.
		They determined to break up and go home; though for honour's sake all the cantons at the same time bound themselves to hasten with their united strength to the help of the one first attacked, the miserable dispersion of the confederacy was but miserably palliated by such impracticable stipulations.
		The towns opened their gates when they saw the strange besieging machines, the towers rolling up to their walls; those who would not submit to the foreign masters sought a refuge beyond the sea in Britain.

	City and Cathedral
		Before we can reach any such conclusions, and in order to understand the Gothic cathedral, we must be familiar in general terms with the peculiar history of the city of Amiens and with some of its key personalities.
		The earliest references to the city that was to become Amiens are found in the writings of Julius Caesar.' In the campaign against Gaul and Britain (60-51 B.C.),the Ambiani sided with the Bellovaci and the other Belgae against the Romans, furnishing a force estimated at ten thousand men.
		The Bellovaci, the largest and most ferocious group, are said to have provided one hundred thousand.

	'Treasure of Ambiorix' (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ninety-four of these were bought by the province of Limburg and are currently on display in the archaeological museum at Tongeren, which is 15 kilometers east of Heers.
		The treasure contained coins from several ancient Belgian tribes: seventy-four were minted by the Eburones, seventeen by the Nervians, one by the Trevirans, one by the Bellovaci, and one by an unidentified ethnic group.
		It is very tempting to connect this treasure with the insurrection of Ambiorix, the Eburonian leader who revolted against the Romans in the winter of 54/53 BCE, destroyed one of the legions of the Roman general Gaius Julius Caesar, and witnessed how his tribe was massacred by his enemies.

	Legio VII Claudia Pia Fidelis
		In 56, the Seventh was present during the Venetic campaign, and it later took part in the two expeditions to Britain (55 and 54).
		During the crisis caused by Vercingetorix, it fought in the neighborhood of Paris (52); it must have been active at Alesia (text) and it was certainly involved in the mopping-up operations among the Bellovaci (51).
		During the civil war against Caesar's fellow-triumvir and Pompey, the seventh legion fought in Hispania in the battle of Ilerda (summer 49).

		The Bellovaci now put themselves under his protection, but the Nervii remained in arms.
		One day, while the six legions were forming camp on the bank of the river Sabis, the Nervii and their allies suddenly rushed upon them from an ambuscade in the woods on the opposite bank.

	Wikinfo \| Battle of the Sabis
		In the year 57 BC, a large group of Belgic and Celtic tribes in the area of modern-day France and Belgium mobilized to drive out their Roman conquerors.
		The union included the Bellovaci, Suessiones, Nervii, Atrebates, Ambriani, Morini, Menapii, Caleti, Veliocasses, Viromandui, Aduatuci, Condrusi, Eburones, Caeroesi, and Paemani tribes, and was under the leadership of Galba, king of the Suessiones.
		Due to poor coordination of effort, the union collapsed in the face of quick military action by Caesar, and most tribes ceased hostilities.

	Belgae
		The city of Trier was founded by the Assyrians around 2000 BC, lead by Trebeta, the son of the great Assyrian King Ninus.
		Tribes who belonged to the Belgae included the Remi, Bellovaci, Suessiones, Nervii, Atrebates, Ambiani, Morini, Menapii, Caleti, Veliocasses and Viromandui.
		Caesar says one tribe, the Atuatuci, were descended from the Germanic Cimbri and Teurones, and describes four others, the Condrusi, Eburones, Caerosi and Paemani, as German tribes (although Ambiorix, a later leader of the Eburones, has a Celtic name).

		M. Jullian decides for the former, because it was the natural route for the Bellovaci and the Suessiones, who furnished the strongest contingents to the confedelate army.
		It is probable, therefore, that the point where the Belgae concentrated was not in the valley, but somewhere north of the Aisne - perhaps near La Fere on the Oise - and at a considerable distance from it (C.G., pp.
		It has, indeed, been suggested that the various Belgic contingents dispersed at the very beginning of their flight, the Bellovaci and Suessiones moving down the valley on the heights parallel with the right bank of the river, and all the others towards Laon.
