Capitolo 45
Switzerland, France, Germany and England, a great line of country,
almost all of what he overflowed and it conquered. A great portion of this
territory had called Gaul in those days; the part on the Italian side of
the Alps that have called Cisalpine Gaul, while that that the disposition over it was
designated as Transalpine. Transalpine Gaul was substantially what is
now France. There was a part of Transalpine Gaul that you/he/she had already been

always to the side of their comrades, and escaping with them to a place
of the safety.
