Among the volunteers in Caesar’s army was one Crastinus, a man of distinguished courage, who the year before, had been first centurion of the tenth legion. This brave officer, as soon as the signal was given, calling to those next him: Follow me, said he, you that were formerly under my command, and acquit yourselves of the duty you owe to your general. This one battle more will crown the work, by restoring him to his proper dignity, and us to the enjoyment of our freedom. At the same time, turning to Caesar: General, says he, this day you shall be satisfied with my behaviour, and whether I live or die, I will take care to deserve your commendations. So saying he marched up to the enemy, and began the attack at the head of a hundred and twenty volunteers.
