The Senones sought pardon from Caesar, who pardoned them and took hostages.(The Gallic War, Book VI, 1–7 · 📍 the Senones)
- With: Caesar
- “Caesar readily grants them pardon and receives their excuse at the request of the Aedui; because he thought that the summer season was one for an impending war, not for an investigation. Having imposed one hundred hostages, he delivers these to the Aedui to be held in charge by them.”
Caesar held an investigation into the conspiracy and sentenced Acco, then punished him.(The Gallic War, Book VI, 37–44 · 📍 Durocortorum of the Remi)
- With: Caesar
- “having summoned a council of Gaul to assemble at that place, he resolved to hold an investigation respecting the conspiracy of the Senones and Carnutes, and having pronounced a most severe sentence upon Acco, who had been the contriver of that plot, he punished him after the custom of our ancestors.”

enemies with Caesar “Having devastated the country in such a manner, Caesar leads back his army with the loss of two cohorts to Durocortorum of the Remi, and, having summoned a council of Gaul to assemble at that place, he resolved to hold an investigation respecting the conspiracy of the Senones and Carnutes, and having pronounced a most severe sentence upon Acco, who had been the contriver of that plot, he punished him after the custom of our ancestors.”
