Text: A group of Barbarians in force - father, son and wife crouching down / in hopes of killing an individual by surprise, thinking to influence the battle,/ the King coming on in a chariot with fury darting a / spear - to contrast the barbarian intrepidity to the calm intellectual / thoughtfulness of Caesar who surveys the field and sees the movement necessary / to ensure the grand result - and disciplined advance of the Romans charge in / contrast with the wild unconnected rush of the Britons - You may make it / into a fine lesson.
