They probably extended across the Saone aboveLyons, so that Caesar only crossed the Rhone above its junction with theSaone and did not cross the Saone also. He evidently had his camp inthe heights above Lyons in the angle of the two rivers. His army amountedto six legions of nearly 25, 000 men and an uncertain number of Gallic cav-alry. He had doubtless been joined by Labienus with his legion from. g Fig. 114.—SiG.NiKER. 2C8 Notes: Ccesar. [t. G. Geneva, though that fact is not mentioned.

The entire train of the Helvetii has beenreckoned at 8500 four-horse wagons, extending some fifty miles (cf. note on4 23). The passage must have been extremely slow. They probably fol-lowed in the line of the modem railroad as far as Culoz, then to Amberieuand across the plateau des Dombes to the Saone between Lyons andMacon, a distance of nearly a hundred miles. It is calculated that Caesarmust have been absent two months in Italy, and the march of the Helve-tians probably took about the same time. This would make the time ofthese events about the latter part of June. 9 12 Haeduorum: it does not appear that these occupied the left bankof t
