“Nobody has ever taken me on and come out of it unharmed.” When Julius Caesar told the Germanic king Ariovistus to leave Rome’s allies in Gaul alone, Ariovistus sent back a proud answer: whoever had fought him had been ruined, and his warriors had not slept under a roof for fourteen years. Caesar reports the exchange in his Gallic War, shortly before the two armies met in 58 BC. Here a lone oak stands on its hill, broken axes scattered around its roots.
