Cingetorix (Gaul)
Cingetorix (Gaulish "marching king" or "king of warriors") was one of the two chieftains struggling for the supremacy of the Treveri of Gaul. Caesar supported him over his more anti-Roman rival Indutiomarus. However Indutiomarus persuaded his people to join the revolt led by Ambiorix of the Eburones in 54 BC, declared Cingetorix a public enemy and confiscated his property. Cingetorix presented himself to Caesar's legate Titus Labienus, who defeated and killed Indutiomarus in a cavalry engagement. The Treveri "transferred supreme rule to ndutiomarus'skinsmen," (6.2) and in 53 BC again mounted a campaign against the Roman troops led by Labienus. They were again defeated. At that point, Caesar writes, "Leadership and rule ver the Treveriwas handed over to Cingetorix, who...remained loyal from the beginning."
