A short distance from their camp, the Roman troops were ambushed by the Eburones and massacred.
But the Rhine was not a strong border, and he made it clear that there was a part of Belgic Gaul where many of the local tribes (including the Eburones) were " Germani cisrhenani ", or in other cases, of mixed origin.
Roman troops led by Q. Titurius Sabinus and L. Aurunculeius Cotta were wintering among the Eburones when they were attacked by them, led by Ambiorix and Cativolcus.
This created resentment among the Eburones.
Thus Ambiorix king of the Eburones paid tribute and gave his son and nephew as hostages to the Atuatuci (Gall. 6.27).
