Editing Ambiorix (section)

===Caesar's revenge===
When the [[Roman Senate]] became aware of the latest events, Caesar swore to destroy all the Belgic tribes. Ambiorix had killed fifteen [[Cohort (military unit)|cohorts]]. A Belgic attack on Cicero, then stationed with a legion in the territory of the [[Nervii]], failed due to the timely appearance of Caesar. The Roman campaigns against the Belgae took a few years, but eventually the tribes were slaughtered or driven out and their fields burned. The Eburones disappeared from history after this genocidal event. According to the writer [[Florus]], Ambiorix and his men succeeded in escaping across the [[Rhine]] and vanished from history.<ref>[[Florus]], iii. 10. § 8</ref>
