FKOM THE BEGimaNG OF THE SECOND CIYIL WAS TO C^SAB*8 DEATH. B.C. 49-44.
As soon as Csesar learned at Bavenna the last resolution of tho Senate, he assembled his soldiers, informed them of the wrongs ho had sustained, and called upon them to support him. Finding them quite willing to support him, he crossed the Bubicon,* which separated his province from Italy, and occupied Ariminum, where he met with the Tribunes. He commenced his enterprise with only one legion, consisting of 5000 foot-soldier
...s and 300 horse; but others had orders to follow him from Transalpine Gaul, and he was well aware of the importance of expedition, that the enemy might have no time to complete their preparations. Though it was the middle of winter, he pushed on with the utmost rapidity, and such was the popularity of his cause in Italy, that city after city opened its gates to him, and his march was like a triumphal progress.
Arretium, Pisaurum, Fanum, Ancona, Iguyium, and Auximum fell * llie crossing of this etream was in reality a declaration of war against the Republic, and later writers relate that upon arriving at the Rubicon Ccesar long hesitated whether he should take this irrevocable step, and that, after pondering many hours, he at length exclaimed, ^^The die is cast,** and plunged into the river.
