Quintus Valerius was sent with a legion to Sardinia and compelled the Pompeian governor to evacuate the island. The more important enterprise of taking Sicily and Africa from the enemy was entrusted to the young Gaius Curio with the assistance of the able Gaius Caninius Rebilus, who possessed experience in war.
It was in the land of the Carnutes that Cæsar received news, by the letters of Rebilus, of the events which had taken place at Uxellodunum and of the resistance of the besieged.
The Roman general sent in advance all the cavalry and the light German infantry; he followed them with one legion, without baggage, leaving the other as a guard to the three camps. Rebilus then advanced rapidly at the head of the legion drawn up in order of battle and took possession of the heights.
They took the direction of the Narbonnese with the Cadurcan Lucterius who had before attempted a similar invasion. Rebilus pursued them with two legions in order to avoid the shame of seeing the province suffering any injury from such a contemptible rabble.
