A Gallic Captive

Reading #18

A Gallic captive is brought before the legatus for questioning. The Roman camp is in the wilds of
Belgium, a land of thick forests and fierce tribes. There have been rumors of rebellion against the
Roman army of occupation. The legatus is leading a relief expedition and it is important for him to get
full information concerning the enemy.

LEGATUS: Quis es? Unde venisti?

GALLUS (with a grim laugh): Non cognovi.
LEGATUS: Ha! Non cognovisti! Nonne tu Gallus es?
GALLUS: Non cognovi.
LEGATUS: Ubi sunt copiae vestrae? Qui sunt socii vestri?
GALLUS: Non cognovi.
LEGATUS: Tu ad mortem duceris! Num ad mortem paratus es?
GALLUS: Ita. Ad mortem paratus sum. Ea quae petis non tibi ostendam. ( The legate summons the
torturers. They torture the Gaul.)

LEGATUS (sarcastically): Id diu sustinebis, nam ad mortem paratus es.

GALLUS: Eheu ! Eheu ! Eheu !

LEGATUS: Quid? Num times? Nonne fortis es? Nonne ad mortem paratus? ( The torturing stops;
the Gaul lies exhausted on the ground.)

LEGATUS: Itaque nunc ad mortem duceris.

GALLUS: Eheu ! Eheu ! Non ! Non !
LEGATUS (smiling): Quid est? Num cognovisti?
GALLUS: Cognovi.
LEGATUS: Quis plurimum apud gentes vestras valet? Quem principem et ducem vocatis?
GALLUS: Ambiorigem2 et Catuvulcum.3

LEGATUS: Qui sunt socii gentis tuae?

GALLUS: Omnes Galliae gentes atque Germani.
LEGATUS: Germani!
GALLUS: Ita est! Copias trans flumen Rhenum traducunt et celeriter in fines nostros pervenient.
LEGATUS: Ubi nunc sunt copiae vestrae?
GALLUS:In silvis ad flumen castra posuerunt.
LEGATUS: Num copiam frumenti habent? Omnia frumenta quae in agris erant incendimus atque
magna copia in hiberna portata est.
GALLUS: Ita. Magnam copiam habent. Socii inter se obsides dederunt et ad nos frumentum
miserunt. Habent etiam copiam armorum et telorum. Nam expugnavimus hiberna Romana quae in
finibus nostris posita erant.
LEGATUS:

Quid?

Num hiberna Romana expugnavistis? Quae castra? Num castra Romana

expugnavistis?
GALLUS: Expugnavimus. Magna fuit caedes.
LEGATUS: Per deos immortales!4 Propter injurias agros vestros vastabimus; oppida incendemus;
matres et patres et pueros occidemus!
GALLUS: Milites nostri etiam ad bellum parati sunt. Eos non vincetis.

1 eheu, eheu: an interjection expressing grief and pain.

2 Ambiorix, Ambiorigis: Ambiorix
3 Catuvulcus, i: Catuvulcus.
4 per deos immortales: by the immortal gods
