They probably extended across the Saone aboveLyons, so that Caesar only crossed the Rhone above its junction with theSaone and did not cross the Saone also. He evidently had his camp inthe heights above Lyons in the angle of the two rivers. His army amountedto six legions of nearly 25,000 men and an uncertain number of Gallic cav-alry.
