Note 96 — Chapter II · STATE OF GAUL IN THE TIME OF CÆSAR.
Reading edition
Strabo (IV., p. 162) says that the Gauls were of a frank character and good-hearted (literally, without malice).—Ammianus Marcellinus (XV. 12), who wrote at the end of the fifth century, represents the Gauls as excessively vain.—Strabo (IV., p. 165) assures us that they were much inclined to disputes and quarrels.
