That, moreover, the Germans should by degrees become accustomed to cross theRhine, and that a great body of them should come into Gaul, he saw [would be] dangerous to the Roman people, and judged, that wild and savage men would not be likely to restrain themselves, after they had possessed themselves of all Gaul, from going forth into the province and thence marching into Italy (as the Cimbri and Teutones had done before them), particularly as theRhone[was the sole barrier that] separated the Sequani from our province. Against which events he thought he ought to provide as speedily as possible.
