In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

  
  The Internet Classics Archive | The Gallic Wars by Julius Caesar
Caesar perceived that by this speech of Liscus, Dumnorix, the brother of Divitiacus, was indicated; but, as he was unwilling that these matters should be discussed while so many were present, he speedily dismisses: the council, but detains Liscus: he inquires from him when alone, about those things which he had said in the meeting.
He sets spies over Dumnorix that he may be able to know what he does, and with whom he communicates.
Being on the same day informed by his scouts, that the enemy had encamped at the foot of a mountain eight miles from his own camp; he sent persons to ascertain what the nature of the mountain was, and of what kind the ascent on every side.

 Ambiorix
Dumnorix was the first Gallic aristrocrate who was brave enough to turn his back on Caesar.
Dumnorix was followed up by Ambiorix, Caesar's most dangerous and dreaded opponent.
Among them was Dumnorix, who refused to go with Caesar and he refuged to his homecountry.

To this was added, that Dumnorix had before said in an assembly of Aeduans, that the sovereignty of the state had been made over to him by Caesar; which speech the Aedui bore with impatience and yet dared not send embassadors to Caesar for the purpose of either rejecting or deprecating [that appointment].
But, while the minds of all were occupied, Dumnorix began to take his departure from the camp homeward with the cavalry of the Aedui, Caesar being ignorant of it.
He, however, when recalled, began to resist and defend himself with his hand, and implore the support of his people, often exclaiming that "he was free and the subject of a free state." They surround and kill the man as they had been commanded; but the Aeduan horsemen all return to Caesar.

 Part 1, Gallic Warrior Defies Rome   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Divitiacus was not viewed as particularly barbaric or outlandish by the Romans as has been suggested by later Roman historians; such views of the druids were not held until after the conquest when they became the commonplace abuse which all conquerors heap upon the conquered, in order to justify their earlier brutal actions.
Dumnorix, a prince of the Aedui and a successful financier in free Gaul, assembled a large following.
Citing Divitiacus as the rightful leader of the Aedui, instead of his brother Dumnorix, Caesar was able to persuade the Senate to accept him as "Protector of the Gauls" whilst he literally waged total war against Celtic France with assistance from pro-Roman Celts in Gaul.

In fact, it was Dumnorix who got the Sequani to let the Helvetii through their territory.
This Dumnorix is obviously a big problem for me, as he's forcing his countrymen to ally with the Helvetii.
Dumnorix was nearby in the camp, so I sent for him as well.

Dumnorix was considered enough of a potential risk by Caesar that he brought Dumnorix with him under guard as he prepared his first expedition to Britain in 54 BC.
Dumnorix did not suffer this treatment for very long, so he got on his horse and left.
Dumnorix died fighting, crying out the proud phrase "I am a free man, and the citizen of a free nation".

 The Warriors' Tale
What the Helvetii had been unaware of, was that Orgetorix had conspired with Casticus of the Sequani, just to the north, through the Juras, and Dumnorix of the Aedui, just beyond the Sequani, to seize control of their individual tribes, and thus subjugate the tribes under their combined rulership.
They begged Dumnorix of the Aedui, former ally of Orgetorix, whom they had punished for planning single domination over them, to treat with the Sequani to let them enter their country.
Dumnorix, for his part, was eager for a revolution.

In answer to Bregans’ question, the man said, “His name is Dumnorix and you will find him in the small room at the rear of this hut; enter if you wish...” Bregans was now at the final stage of his journey and, entering the room, he stood at last in front of a great leader.
It was dark still, and the fort was quiet and empty because the women and children had been evacuated to another hill fort farther away.
Dumnorix was ready for battle in full Celtic armor with a magnificent boar emblazoned on his chest plate; this special chest plate was reserved for particularly courageous and strong warriors.

I am inclined to believe, however, that Dumnorix was Vergobret; for if not, we must assume that as he held the principatus, he was stronger than the Vergobret, and if so, he would probably have made himself king (cf.
Dumnorix made a low bid for the right of collecting the tolls; and as he was master of a strong force of cavalry (§5), nobody dared to bid higher.
Dumnorix then levied as high tolls as he could collect, and made a large profit.

César croyait avoir assez de motifs, soit pour sévir lui- même contre Dumnorix, soit pour exiger que ses concitoyens le punissent.

He, therefore, undertakes the affair, and prevails upon the Sequani to allow the Helvetii to march through their territories, and arranges that they should give hostages to each other--the Sequani not to obstruct the Helvetii in their march--the Helvetii, to pass without mischief and outrage.
One thing [however] stood in the way of all this--that he had learned by experience his brother Divitiacus's very high regard for the Roman people, his great affection towards him, his distinguished faithfulness, justice, and moderation; for he was afraid lest by the punishment of this man, he should hurt the feelings of Divitiacus.

The first had to do with Dumnorix and Diviciacus, the Haeduans, a pair of ill-matched brothers who figured in Caesar's "Gallic Wars": one was loyal, and one was faithless.
But there was a less Roman way of looking at it, which had become visible to me as I grew up.
From a Gaulish point of view, the shifty, oathbreaking Dumnorix was a patriot and the honorable Diviciacus was a traitor, an antique Quisling or mustached puppet of Rome.

The revolt never happened; the vergobrets were made to shake hands with each other; Caesar took more hostages, including the son of Indutiomarus, and then marched off back to Portus Itius and a minor gale out of the northwest that blew for twenty-five days without let.
Dumnorix of the Aedui made trouble--and died for it--so, all in all, the Great Man was very crusty when his fleet finally set sail two months later than he had scheduled.
He was still crusty, as his legates well knew, but when he came to greet Mandubracius no one would have suspected it who did not come into contact with Caesar every day.
