haec ab iis cognovit : Suebos , postea quam per exploratores pontem fieri comperissent , more suo concilio habito nuntios in omnes partes dimisisse , uti de oppidis demigrarent , liberos , uxores suaque omnia in silvis deponerent atque omnes qui arma ferre possent unum in locum convenirent . Hunc esse delectum medium fere regionum earum quas Suebi obtinerent ; hic Romanorum adventum expectare atque ibi decertare constituisse . Quod ubi Caesar comperit , omnibus iis rebus confectis , quarum rerum causa exercitum traducere constituerat , ut Germanis metum iniceret , ut Sugambros ulcisceretur , ut Ubios obsidione liberaret , diebus omnino XVIII trans Rhenum consumptis , satis et ad laudem et ad utilitatem profectum arbitratus se in Galliam recepit pontemque rescidit .
he
learned
from
them
these
particulars
:
that
the
Suevi
,
after
they
had
by
means
of
their
scouts
found
that
the
bridge
was
being
built
,
had
called
a
council
,
according
to
their
custom
,
and
sent
orders
to
all
parts
of
their
state
to
remove
from
the
towns
and
convey
their
children
,
wives
,
and
all
their
possessions
into
the
woods
,
and
that
all
who
could
bear
arms
should
assemble
in
one
place
;
that
the
place
thus
chosen
was
nearly
the
centre
of
those
regions
which
the
Suevi
possessed
;
that
in
this
spot
they
had
resolved
to
await
the
arrival
of
the
Romans
,
and
give
them
battle
there
.
When
Caesar
discovered
this
,
having
already
accomplished
all
these
things
on
account
of
which
he
had
resolved
to
lead
his
army
over
,
namely
,
to
strike
fear
into
the
Germans
,
take
vengeance
on
the
Sigambri
,
and
free
the
Ubii
from
the
invasion
of
the
Suevi
,
having
spent
altogether
eighteen
days
beyond
the
Rhine
,
and
thinking
he
had
advanced
far
enough
to
serve
both
honor
and
interest
,
he
returned
into
Gaul
,
and
cut
down
the
bridge
.
