Consecutusque cohortes ad Rubiconem flumen, qui provinciae ejus finis erat, paulum constitit, ac reputans quantum moliretur, conversus ad proximos : "Etiam nunc" inquit "regredi possumus ; quod si ponticulum transierimus, omnia armis agenda erunt".
Coming up with his troops on the banks of the Rubicon, which was the boundary of his province, he made a stop; when revolving in his mind for some time the greatness of his attempts, he turned to those about him: "We may still retreat," said he, "but if we pass this little bridge, we must make our way by force of arms."

Translated by Alexander Thomson, M.D. (London: G. G. and J. Robinson, 1796). I find in a book about the reference text: "Au bord du Rubicon"
