Battle of Magetobriga
The Battle of Magetobriga (Amagetobria, Magetobria, Mageto'Bria, Admageto'Bria) was fought in 63 BC between rival tribes in Gaul. The Aedui tribe was defeated and massacred by the combined forces of their hereditary rivals, the Sequani and Arverni tribes. The Sequani and Arverni enlisted the aid of the German Suebi tribe under their king Ariovistus. Following their defeat, the Aedui sent envoys to the Roman Senate, their traditional ally, for aid. The Roman general Julius Caesar would subsequently use their request for aid as a basis for extending his conquest of Gaul.
==Background==
According to Strabo, the cause of the conflict between the Haedui and Sequani was commercial.〔Strabo, ''Geography'' (4.3.2 )〕 The Arar (Saône) River formed part of the border between the hereditary rivals.〔Julius Caesar, ''Commentarii de Bello Gallico'' 1.12〕〔Goldsworthy, ''Caesar: Life of a Colossus'', 200-201〕 Each tribe claimed the Arar and the tolls on trade along it.〔Kahn, ''The Education of Julius Caesar'', 220〕 The Sequani controlled access to the Rhine River and had built an oppidum (a fortified town) at Vesontio (Besançon) to protect their interests.
