The subjection of the coast states had been apparent rather than real. They had surrendered and given hostages, and it might seem that all was well. But while Caesar was still in Illyria he was informed by P. Crassus, who was wintering among them, that they had revolted. The general had sent out embassies to the neighboring states to procure corn, and it seemed to the Veneti, the most powerful tribe, who dwelt along the coast north of the Loire, a simple and rather clever application of retributive justice to detain the ambassadors and offer to exchange them against their hostages. The example was quickly followed by other tribes. Caesar saw the position at once, ordered ships to be built on the Loire, rowers to be raised from Further Gaul, pilots to be got ready, and a levy of ships to be raised from the friendly states. Then in the spring of the following year he hastened to the scene of preparations. Caesar's conduct of this war, if it had not been amply shown already, would have proved his rank as a general. He intended to punish the Veneti, whose territories were in a neck of land far from all friendly aid. He had to provide against the example of the revolted tribe being followed and reinforcements coming. The Germans were reputed to be on the move, and the Belgae unsettled. Caesar sent his most experienced lieutenant, Labienus, with the cavalry against the Treveri, who dwelt in the bend of the Moselle, south and west of the Rhine; this was to check the Germans, and tranquillize the Belgae. The young but skilful general, P. Crassus, he sent with a force to the Garonne to hold the Aquitani in check; Q. Titurius Sabinus with three legions against several neighbouring revolted states, to keep their forces from actually joining the Veneti; then, giving Decimus Brutus command over the fleet, he hastened against the enemy himself.
