QUESTION ONE
Caesar, de bello Gallico, IV. 22

bellum populo Romano fecissent, seque ea quae imperasset 5 facturos pollicerentur.
2 Hoc sibi Caesar satis opportune accidisse arbitratus, quod neque post tergum hostem relinquere volebat neque belli gerendi propter anni tempus facultatem habebat
neque has tantularum rerum occupationes Britanniae 10 anteponendas iudicabat, magnum eis numerum obsidum
imperat: quibus adductis eos in fidem recipit.
3 Navibus circiter LXXX onerariis coactis contractisque, quod satis esse ad duas transportandas legiones
existimabat, quod praeterea navium longarum habebat 15 quaestori, legatis praefectisque distribuit.

QUESTION TWO
Caesar, de bello Gallico IV. 30-31
30,1 Quibus rebus cognitis, principes Britanniae, qui post proelium ad Caesarem convenerant, inter se collocuti, cum equites et naves et frumentum Romanis deesse intellegerent et paucitatem militum ex castrorum exiguitate
cognoscerent, quae hoc erant etiam angustiora quod sine 5 impedimentis Caesar legiones transportaverat, optimum
factu esse duxerunt, rebellione facta frumento
commeatuque nostros prohibere et rem in hiemem producere, quod, his superatis aut reditu interclusis,
neminem postea belli inferendi causa in Britanniam 10 transiturum confidebant.
2 Itaque rursus coniuratione facta, paulatim ex castris discedere ac suos clam ex agris deducere coeperunt.
31,1 At Caesar, etsi nondum eorum consilia cognoverat,
tamen et ex eventu navium suarum et ex eo quod obsides 15 dare intermiserant fore id quod accidit suspicabatur.
2 Itaque ad omnes casus subsidia comparabat. Nam et frumentum ex agris cotidie in castra conferebat et, quae gravissime adflictae erant naves, earum materia atque aere
ad reliquas reficiendas utebatur et quae ad eas res erant 20 usui ex continenti comportari iubebat.
