Quintus Titurius Sabinus is Caesar's general, who will go down in history for losing his own life and the whole of the 14 Legion in a massacre by the Euborenes. The Euborones were successful in tricking the Romans to leave their camp after being promised safe passage. Cotta, who shared the command with Sabinus, was overruled in a council of war at the camp and died bravely fighting with his men. Cicero, the general in the next camp, was subjected to the same tactics, but showed great courage and resourcefulness in staying in his camp until he was relieved by Caesar.
