Julius Caesar and the foundation of the Roman imperial system . or an act which is abhorrent to our modernfeeling of justice, and which enlists all our sympa-thies on the side of the struggling victims of Romanconquest. By the end of the summer, Caesar and his generalshad been everywhere victorious, and Gaul from thePyrenees to the Rhine appeared to be reduced toobedience. Two tribes, the Morini and Menapii,dwelling on the coast of modern Picardy and Flan-ders, were indeed still in arms and had made no sub-mission ; and to these Caesar turned his attention fora while in the early autumn. His expedition was nota success, for the country was covered with wood andswamp, and these wild people fled Into the forest,leaving their empty dwellings at his mercy. Heavyrains also checked his progress ; and after ravagingtheir cultivated land, and burning their villages, hegave up the attempt to reduce them, led his armyback to Normandy and Brittany for the winter, andreturned himself to Cisalpine Gaul, in order to dis-charge his civil duties.* *B. ,6, L.
