Caesar blockaded the city, and, leaving Decimus Brutus in charge of operations, continued his journey to Spain.

He found Afranius and Petreius strongly intrenched at ILERDA in Catalonia (Northern Spain).

Within forty days he brought them to terms, and Varro, who was in Southern Spain, was eager to surrender.

All Spain was at his feet.
Before leaving Spain, Caesar summoned the leading Spaniards and Romans to Cordova, for a conference.

All promised obedience to his authority.
He then set sail from Gades to Tarragona, where he joined his legions and marched back to Massilia, which he found hard pressed and ready to surrender.
