Gauls and Romans by the river, by Evariste Vital Luminais 1821-1896

"Gaul is inhabited by many tribes of different size; for the largest number some two hundred thousand men, and the smallest fifty thousand, one of the latter (the Aedui) standing on terms of kinship and friendship with the Romans, a relationship which has endured from ancient times down to our own day."

-Diodorus Siculus, Library of History: Book 5.25
