dux Gallorum timebat ne Romani viros collem ascendentes audirent. itaque imperavit omnibus Gallis ut in itinere tacerent. ea nocte Galli tam tacite processerunt ut custodes Romani eos non conspicerent.

The leader of the Gauls was afraid that the Romans might hear the men climbing the hill.And so he ordered all the Gauls to say nothing on the journey.That night the Gauls advanced so silently that the Roman guards did not notice them.
