Cincibil sent to Rome a deputation, with his brother at their head, to set forth the grievances of the mountaineers, and especially to complain of the consul Cassius, who had carried off and sold several thousands of Gauls. Without making any concession, the Senate was gracious. Cassius was away; he must be waited for.

Still nothing was done. Another, a greater and more decisive opportunity offered itself. Marseilles was an ally of the Romans.

But the terror of the Roman name had reached across.
