C. Iulius Caesar, Commentāriōrum dē Bellō Gallicō 4.33

 

Tier 2

essedī equitant per omnēs partēs proeliī et Britannī iaciunt tēla. terrōr equōrum et strepitus rotārum perturbant hostēs. mox bellātōrēs dēsiliunt ex essedīs et pugnant pedibus. aurīgae interim excēdunt paulātim ex proeliō et collocant currūs ut bellatōrēs habeant expedītum receptum.

 

ita essedī habent mōbilitātem equitum et stabilitātem peditum in proeliīs.

 

aurīgae possunt agere currūs celeriter et in dēclīvī. aurīgae quoque possunt flectere eōs celeriter. tandem possunt currere per tēmōnem, stāre in iugō, et revenīre in currūs citissimē.
