Aquilifer tamen nōn timet. In aquam dēsilit. Nostrī stupent, nam in barbarōs aquilam portat, " Vultisne " exclāmat "aquilam barbarīs prōdere? " Tum nostrī ex nāvibus dēsiliunt. Barbarīs vada nōta sunt, nostrīs ignōta. Aliī equōs incitant et cum nostrīs proelium committunt. Aliī in ūniversōs tēla mittunt. Multī Rōmānī summō in perīculō sunt. Caesar id animadvertit. Itaque scaphās armātīs complet et nostrīs auxilium submittit. Mox nostrī in āridō stant. Cum barbarīs proelium committunt et eōs in fugam dant.
