Cingetorix was one of the two chieftains struggling for the supremacy of the Treveri of Gaul . Caesar supported him over his more anti-Roman rival Indutiomarus . However Indutiomarus persuaded his people to join the revolt led by Ambiorix of the Eburones in 54 BC , declared Cingetorix a public enemy and confiscated his property. Cingetorix presented himself to Caesar's LegateTitus Labienus , who defeated and killed Indutiomarus in a Cavalry enegagement.
Cingetorix was one of the four kings of Kent during Caesar's second expedition to Britain in 54 BC , alongside Segovax , Carvilius and Taximagulus . The four were allies of the British leader Cassivellaunus , and attacked the Roman naval camp in an attempt to relieve him when he was besieged by Caesar in his stronghold north of the Thames . However the attack failed and Cassivellaunus was forced to seek terms.
