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."
Commentaires pour la traduction
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"
