Cassivelaunus

Whether the victorious general, in pursuit of Cassivelaunus, crossed the Thames at London, or whether “Coway Stakes,” near Weybridge, mark the scene, will never be known.

Their numbers increased as the days went by and the Romans made no advance, and they were now commanded by a general of great ability, none less than the celebrated Cassivelaunus.

Varley would say, "Draw me Moses," or "David"; or would call for a likeness of Julius C�sar, or Cassivelaunus, or Edward III., or some other great historical personage.

Though C�sar names no particular town, yet he describes his attack and occupation of the "Oppidum" over which Cassivelaunus was the chief.

After several indecisive engagements, Caesar took the camp of Cassivelaunus, who was obliged to make peace on condition of paying tribute and giving hostages.
