Epistulae

Ad Familiares 7, 6, 2 (aan Trebatius, mei 54)
Take care you aren’t cheated by the charioteers in Britain.

Ad Familiares 7, 7, 1 (aan Trebatius, juni 54)
I hear there’s no gold or silver in Britain. If this is so, I advise you to get a war-chariot and hasten back to us as soon as possible.

Ad Atticum 4, 16, 7 (aan Atticus, juli 54)
The outcome of the war in Britain is eagerly awaited; for it is well known that the approaches to the island are set round with walls of wondrous mass. It has also become clear that there isn’t an ounce of silver in the island, nor any prospect of booty except slaves. I don’t suppose you’re expecting any of them to be accomplished in literature or music!

Ad Atticum 4, 15, 10 (aan Atticus, juli 54)
A letter from my brother Quintus leads me to believe he is now in Britain. I am waiting in suspense to learn what he is doing.

Ad Fratrem 3, 1, 10 (aan Quintus, augustus 54)
On affairs in Britain I see from your letter there is nothing there for us to fear or rejoice at.

Ad Atticum 4, 18, 5 (aan Atticus, oktober-november 54)
On the 24th of October I received letters from my brother Quintus and from Caesar which were sent from the nearest point on the shores of Britain on September 25th. The campaign there is complete; hostages have been received; there is no booty; tribute has, however, been imposed and they are bringing back the army from Britain.
