	Life of Gaius Julius Caesar

		Varus retreated immediately when Caesar arrived and after a four mile chase Caesar was able to capture 2 ships (one being originally his own).

		Among the persons of senatorial rank were Lucius Domitius, Publius Lentulus Spinther, Lucius Vibullius Rufus, Sextus Quintilius Varus, the quaestor, and Lucius Rubrius, besides the son of Domitius, and several other young men, and a great number of Roman knights and burgesses, whom Domitius had summoned from the municipal towns.
		When they were brought before him he protected them from the insolence and taunts of the soldiers; told them in few words that they had not made him a grateful return, on their part, for his very extraordinary kindness to them, and dismissed them all in safety.
		When Tubero arrived in Africa, he found Attius Varus in the government of the province, who, having lost his cohorts, as already related, at Auximum, had straightway fled to Africa, and finding it without a governor, had seized it of his own accord, and making levies, had raised two legions.

		When Varus, after been repeatedly called, stopped and looked at him, and inquired who he was and what he wanted, he made a blow with his sword at his naked shoulder and was very near killing Varus, but he escaped the danger by raising his shield to ward off the blow.
		Fabius was surrounded by the soldiers near him and cut to pieces; and by the multitude and crowds of those that fled, the gates of the camps were thronged and the passage stopped, and a greater number perished in that place without a stroke than in the battle and flight.
		But so great was the terror in general, that some said that Juba's forces were marching up, others that Varus was hastening with his legions, and that they already saw the dust raised by their coming; of which not one circumstance had happened: others suspected that the enemy's fleet would immediately be upon them.

	Pro A. Cluentio Habito by Marcus Tullius Cicero: English Text
		They were hearing of the actions of a man with reference to whom they were bound to deliver their judgement on oath,--of a man who was present, whose infamous and hardened countenance they were looking upon,--of a man whom they hated on account of his audacity,--of him whom they thought worthy of every possible punishment.
		Publius Canutius was the counsel for the prosecution, a man of the greatest ability and a very accomplished speaker; and he accused Scamander in plain words, saying "that the poison had been discovered on him." All the force of his accusation was directed against Oppianicus.
		Publius Quintilius Varus, a man of the most scrupulous honor, and of the greatest authority, said that Cleophantus had conversed with him about the plots which were being laid against Avitus, and about the tampering with Diogenes, while the matter was fresh.

		And at the same time Varus had detached as a guard for them six hundred Numidian horse, and four hundred foot, which king Juba had sent to Utica as auxiliaries a few days before.
		There was a friendship subsisting between his [Juba's] father and Pompey, and a feud between him and Curio, because he, when a tribune of the people, had proposed a law, in which he endeavored to make public property of the kingdom of Juba.
		Induced by their opinion, Varus the next day led his troops out of the camp: Curio did so in like manner, and with only one small valley between them, each drew up his forces.

	Speech in Defence of Quintus Ligarius by Cicero
		In the meantime, Publius Attius Varus, who as praetor had obtained the province of Africa, came to Utica.
		Every one immediately flocked to him, and he seized on the government with no ordinary eagerness, if that may be called government which was conferred on him, while a private individual, by the clamor of an ignorant mob, without the sanction of any public council.
		There is a third time: that during which he remained in Africa after the arrival of Varus; and if that is at all criminal, the crime is one of necessity, not of inclination.

	Caesar in Africa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The rest of the resistance came from Publius Attius Varus who was already installed as the governor of Africa, Titus Labienus Caesar's former legate, and Quintus Metellus Scipio, who along with Labienus had escaped Pompey's destruction at Pharsalus, and King Juba of Numidia.
		The Republicans greatly outnumbered Caesar in total, but their commands were split and it seemed no man wanted to yield overall command to a single army.
		After several minor battles, including a naval battle near Adrumentum that sent Varus eventually in flight to Spain, the Republican army combined and lined up for battle near Thapsus.

		When they came to the coast of Africa they met with Sextus, Pompey's youngest son, who told them of the death of his father in Egypt; at which they were all exceedingly grieved, and declared that after Pompey they would follow no other leader but Cato.
		However, he now succeeded both in humbling the pride of Juba, who was treating Scipio and Varus much like a pair of satraps under his orders, and also in reconciling them to each other.
