| 51 BC | Caesar, Commentaries on the Gallic War | Drapes of the Senones and Lucterius of the Cadurci took Uxellodunum (Lucterius's former domain) in the land of the Cadurci and resisted; Caninius tightened the siege with three camps. |
| 51 BC | Caesar, Commentaries on the Gallic War | Caesar arrived at Uxellodunum, saw it already surrounded, and decided to cut off its water supply, since the town had plenty of grain: a river wraps around the mountain and there was a spring nearby. |
| 51 BC | Caesar, Commentaries on the Gallic War | Caesar dug a mine and cut the spring's water vein; the spring dried up and the town surrendered, driven by thirst. |
| 51 BC | Caesar, Commentaries on the Gallic War | As an example to curb the revolt, Caesar had the hands of those who had taken up arms cut off but spared their lives; the captive Drapes died by starvation. |
