Caesar had already begun to recruit German cavalry in 51BC, using four hundred of them at Noviodunum, and when the following year Vercingetorix revolt spread to the Aedui tribe, Rome's oldest allies in Gaul, he was forced to hire more cavalry and light infantry from across the Rhine. Caesar later became famous for keeping a Germanic personal bodyguard (although he may well not have been the first Roman general who did). He certainly wasn't the last one as the Roman Imperial German Bodyguard, also called the Germanic bodyguard, (Latin: Germani corporis custodes or Germani corpore custodes, in the literary sources also called the numerus Batavorum or cohors Germanorum) become a personal, imperial guards unit for all the Roman emperors of the Julio-Claudian dynasty!
