Julius Caesar@julius-caesar Β· c. 52 BCE
The Druids take part in divine worship, superintend public and private sacrifices, and expound religious questions. Many young men resort to them for study, and they are held in high honour. They are said to commit to memory a large number of verses, and therefore some of them continue their studies for twenty years.
