2. The Boians brought the head of Posthumius, which they had cut off, in manner of a triumph to the temple which was the most holy among them, and, having cleansed the head, as is their custom, they covered the scull with gold, and it was a sacred vase for them, in which they made their libations in their solemnities, and served as a cup for the priests and ministers of the temple. Livy, B, xxiii, C. 24, 5 Diodo. B. V, C. 2. When they return from fight, says THE CELTS. 167 the Gauls were very p...rompt and forward to undertake a war, so were they of a disposition that easily relented, and gave way to the strokes of adversity. 7 When Caesar, at the head of his army, was advanced within a few miles of Bra- tuspantium, the capital city of the Bellovaci, they sent a deputation of all their old men, who came Strabo, they hang the heads of their enemies from the necks of their horses, and fix them, as a spectacle, before the gates of their towns : this Posidonius, he adds, saw in many places of Gaul : and whereas, at first, he could not endure so strange a sight, it was by custom rendered less offensive.
