The great natural harbour at Richborough, a little further north, was used by Claudius in his invasion just 100 years later, but we do not know whether Volusenus travelled that far, or indeed whether it existed in a suitable form at that time ( our knowledge of the geomorphology of the Wantsum Channel that created that haven is limited ).

Volusenus is one of only three ranking officers to whom Caesar ascribes the quality of virtus.

The passage, and Volusenus's documented loyalty to Caesar, was thus interpreted to mean that he was a supporter of Mark Antony, but two other manuscripts indicate that the proper noun is in fact a verb ( voluissent ) and neither Cicero nor any other source mentions Volusenus among Antony's followers.

In 51 BC Volusenus was serving as commander of cavalry under Mark Antony, and in the winter of that year was ordered by Antony to pursue Commius, who was conducting a campaign of agitation and guerrilla warfare.
