Note 244 — Chapter V · WAR AGAINST THE BELGÆ. (Year of Rome 697.) (Book II. of the “Commentaries.”)

The word fines in Cæsar, always signifies territory. We must therefore understand by extremi fines the part of the territory farthest removed from the centre, and not the extreme frontier, as certain translators have thought. The Aisne crossed the northern part of the country of the Remi, and did not form its boundary. (See Plate 2.)
