Cassivelaunus was greatly elated when he had won this second victory. He issued an edict that all the British leaders should assemble with their wives in the town of Trinovantum to do honor to their country's gods who had given them victory over so mighty an Emperor. Sacrifices of various kinds were made and many cattle were killed. They offered forty thousand cows, a hundred thousand sheep and so many fowl of every kind that it was impossible to count them. They also sacrificed three hundred thousand wild animals of various species which they had caught in the woods.
