Plutarch’s ‘Lives’
1. These words “Arms and laws do not flourish together,” were said by Julius Cæsar in answer to a book that had been written by a greater orator than himself called Cicero. In this he said that the people could not expect him to be such a great orator as Cicero who had studied all his life for Cæsar had to fight and could not study.
2. When Cæsar first went into Gaul to fight against the Helvetians and the Tigurini he sent out his lieutenant to fight the Tigurini. His lieutenant defeated them so he went on to fight the Helvetians who had burnt 400 of their villages, and 12 of their large towns. He marched against them and after having fought them he defeated them and he made the prisoners he took resettle in the land and rebuild the towns and villages they had burnt for fear that other tribes from Germany should come and settle in a country that was left with no inhabitants.
