Having publicly praised his victorious troops, Caesar raised a
pile of arms with the proud inscription, "The army of
Tiberius Caesar,
after thoroughly conquering the tribes between the
Rhine and the Elbe,
has dedicated this monument to Mars, Jupiter, and
Augustus." He added nothing
about himself, fearing jealousy, or thinking that the
conciousness of the
achievement was enough. Next he charged Stertinius
with making war on the
Angrivarii, but they hastened to surrender. |
