Ambiorix was prince of Eburones, a tribe of Belgian Gaul (Gallia Belgica).
Although Caesar had freed him from paying tribute
to the Aduztuci, he joined Catuvolcus (winter, 54 BC)
in rising against the Roman forces under Q. Titurius Sabinus and
I. Aurunculeius Cotta, and almost annihilated
them. An attack on Quintus Cicero (brother of the orator),
then quartered with a legion in the territory of the
Nervii, failed owing to the timely appearance of Caesar.
Ambiorix is said to have found safety across the Rhine.
Nowadays, his statue can be found in the Belgian town of Tongeren.
Caesar, De Bello Gallico v. 26-51, vi. 29-43,
viii. 24; Dio Cassius xl. 7-11; Florus iii. 10.
