King of the Eburones
Thronar
The harvest was poor,
starvation was lurking and no man knew what winter would bring.
They came with honourless intentions.
They set up their camps near our villages.
The centurions were ordered to take our harvest.
The fury of the Eburones was born.
Ambiorix joined Catuvolcus, two kings powerful and brave.
The murder of Dumnorix will be revenged.
Esus the Treesplitter, Taranis the father and Toutatis the thunder will rise.
Ambiorix prince of the Eburones
Of all Gauls, the Belgae are bravest
He created fear for approaching tribes.
The officers were troubled. Stay and fight or flee?
Sabinus and Cotta debated the whole night.
Fear took a hold of them.
Through the the valley they would flee.
The news reached the senate. Rome was dishonoured.
An entire Roman legion and cohorts distroyed,
revenge was inevitable.
He created fear for approaching tribes.
The officers were troubled. Stay and fight or flee?
Sabinus and Cotta debated the whole night.
Fear took a hold of them.
Through the the valley they would flee.
Caesars wrath was devastating.
50,000 trained Roman soldiers slaughtered and hunted the tribes.
Fields were burned down. Ambiorix fled North into German territory.
Never to be seen again.
The fury of the Eburones was born.
Ambiorix joined Catuvolcus, two kings powerful and brave.
The murder of Dumnorix will be revenged.
Esus the Treesplitter, Taranis the father and Toutatis the thunder will rise.
Ambiorix and his men attacked them from up the hills.
The legate begged for his life.
Sabinus, Cotta and their troops were massacred.
Deceived by a flag of truce.
The name of Rome was at stake.
