Book CVIII.

Caius Caesar overthrew the Gauls at Alesia, and reduced all the revolted cities to subjection. Caius Cassius, Marcus Crassus's quaestor, defeated the Parthians who had passed over into Syria. [Y.R. 701. B.C. 51.] Marcus Cato failed in his suit for the consulship; the successful candidates being Servius Sulpicius and Marcus Marcellus. Caius Caesar subdued the Bellovacians, and other Gallic tribes. This book contains, moreover, the record of the [p. 2204] disputes between the consuls, concerning the sending out of a person to succeed Caesar; Marcellus contending that Caesar should come home to sue for the consulship, being, by a law made expressly for that purpose, enabled to hold his province until that period; and also the exploits of Marcus Bibulus in Syria.
