Of the CVIII. booke.
CAius Caesar vanquished the Gaules at * 1.1 Alexia, and received all the cities in France which had been in armes, into his protection upon their submission. C. Cassius the treasurer of M. Crassus, put the Parthians to the sword, who had passed over into Syria. M. Cato sued to be Consul, and had the repulse, and Ser. Sulpitius with M. Marcellus were created Consuls: C. Caesar subdued the * 1.2 Bel∣lovaci, with other States and cities in Fraunce. Also it containeth the strife and debate betweene the Consuls about sending of a successor to C. Caesar. For M. Marcellus the Consull was earnest in the Se∣nate, that Caesar should come to stand for a Consulship, considering that hee by a law made in that be∣halfe was to govern his provinces unto that time of his Consulship. Last of all the martial deeds of Mar. Bibulus in Syria are here reported.
