< p>In the Battle of Zela, Caesar's response was to occupy a high ground and begin to build a tight position according to the Roman war tradition. His troops were less than half of his opponents and he had to be cautious.

< p>But to his surprise, the Bosporus army was not prepared to let him complete the soil work. The latter hoped to concentrate its forces for an assault while the Roman legions were dispersed. So, in Caesar's surprised eyes, 20,000 Bosporans rushed down the mountain from their original camp and lined up as quickly as possible, preparing to attack the Roman position in one go.
