It was exposed to no danger from the Helvetii ; and, as the Aedui were, for the most part, friendly, a slender escort would have sufficed to protect it.^ The opportunity for which Caesar had been waiting had at last come. Although the enemy were now between him and Bibracte, the hill of Armecy was the best position which he could have chosen. If he won, the road would of course be open. If he lost, — but he did not intend to lose. It was his first pitched battle ; and he knew that for him an...d his army defeat would be destruction.

He there- fore dismounted and made his staff do the same, so that the men mijjrht see that their officers shared their dangers. The waggons of the Helvetii were parked, as they came up, on rising ground to the left of the road ; and about one o'clock in the afternoon the whole mighty host, congregated in compact masses, flung back Caesar's horsemen and with shields closely locked pressed up the hill against the Roman line.
