There is more than one occasion where Caesar mentions burying the dead in Gallic Wars, and IIRC, on one, he's also talking about the dead enemies.
After a giant battle, the troops would not have to fight for a while, if they won of course, and the Roman soldiers were no stranger to digging. No doubt they removed all useable equipment, but I can't say what happened to the Roman gear. The enemy gear would probably have been sold for plunder.
