For a long time the Romans prepare for war. Every
day they enlist new troops. They procure weapons and grain. Finally
they declare war on the Germans. The Roman commander immediately leads
the troops into Gaul. There they place a camp against the Germans. Our
men fortify the camp excellently with a rampart and ditch. At night
the Germans attack our camp. In a loud voice our men cry out “to arms”! The soldiers quickly prepare the
weapons and complete the rampart. They soon overcome the Germans.
