Rome quickly dispatched several legions to Gaul. And by September they engaged in battle.
Battle of Avaricum[]
At the Battle of Avaricum Roman Legio VII Claudia and French Legio I Lugdunensis fought on an open field, the similar tactics employed led to catastrophic casualties, and of the 12,000 men that took part in the battle only 2,000 emerged. No one won the battle, it was certainly inconclusive. In response to this Rome, worrying of a high loss of life if this strategy continued, moved from an aggressive to a passive strategy. Blockading France by land and sea.
