for Antonyes sake who sayd he would take his iourney in hand Some there were that blamed Antony as rude and hard harted that hâ—e would put so louing a Lady and so great a Quéene in danger of hir life eyther for his wiues sake or for anye other cause in so muche as Antony was made a tame foole and deferred vnto the next sommer his expedition and returned to Alexandria to winter with Cleopatra Now was Octauia returned to Rome hir brother willed hir to goe to hir owne house but she went to Antonyes house which she kept with so good order and cherishing as well the children he had by Fuluia as by hir selfe as it did aggrauate the fault of Antony that he woulde forsake so vertuous a Romane Lady for an Egiptian straÌ„ger Octauia desired hir brother that if there were none other cause of warre but by hir that he would not moue it for she should beare the blame Therefore â—â— all requests she did help Antonyes friends whereby vnwillingly she hindered Antony who was nowe so fonde waxen as hée woulde haue Cleopatra called by the name of the Goddesse Isis Quéene of Aegypt Cyprus Affrâ—ke and Caelosiria and Caesarion whome it was thought she hadde by Iulius Caesar to be hir companion in these Kingdomes The sonnes that he hadde by hir he called Kings of Kings To Alexander Armenia Mediâ— Parthia to Pâ—olomeo Phâ—enitia Syria Cilicia he appoynted In Rome Caesar accused him of this geare before the Senate Antony by letters accused Caesar likewise First â–ª that he had not made him partaker of Sicilia â–ª out of the which he â—ad wrong Pompey Then y he had not restored the Shyppes which he had lent him Thirdlye that hauing deposed Lepâ—dus his fellow in authoritie he kepte those profites and prouinces to his owne vse and that he had diuided Italy to his owne souldioures and not remembred his To these Caesar answered that bycause Lâ—pidus ruled out of order hée had broughte him to order his prouinces he woulde participate with him when he would diuide with him Armenia â–ª As for hys Souldyoures they hadde no portion in Italy no more than he in Media Parâ—hâ—a WheÌ„ Antony heard of this he sent by by Canidius with xvj legions to the sea He carrying Cleopatra wyth hym wente to Ephesus whither all his Nauie assembled to the number of eyght hundred shippes of burden of the which Cleopatra gaue him two hundreth and two hundreth talentes for the expences of the warre Domitius and other of Antonyes counsell woulde haue had Cleopatra to haue gâ—ne to Egypt till the warre were ended But she corrupted Cantdius to tell him that it was not honorable to remoue hir that was at suche charge for the warre nor sure to exaâ—perate the Egyptians mindâ—s in whome was great part of his forces by sea So Antony must liue wyth Cleopatra â—â—l they were both brought to death From Ephesus they wente to Samâ— where they made lusty théere For as all Kings Princes and prouinces were commanded to bring all maner of munition for the warre thither euen so all kind of players and

that she should â—e any cause of the warre The people lamented bothe hir and Antonie specially they that had seene â—leopatra who did not excell Octauia neyther in beautie nor in floure of yeares Caesar Octauius was afrayde when he heard of Antonies expedition and great preparation for he had nothyng ready nor money to prepare in gathering of the whiche if Antonie had come on Caesar had bene in great daunger For whyles money is so eâ—acted men are tumultours but when it is gathered they be quiet Therefore it was thought a greate folie in Antonie to detract the time But what shal a man say That that wil be shal be Titius and Plancus twoo chiefe aboute Antonie and they that gaue him aduise he should send Cleopatra away fledde from him to Caesar bycause Cleopatra began to maligne at them and they did bewray Antonies Testament being priuie to it It was kept of the Uirgines Uestalles to whome Caesar sente to haue it they would not deliuer it if he woulde take it from them hée might So he went and tooke it away and first by himselfe redde it and noted what might be sayde agaynst it Then he called the Senate and redde it openly whereat many were grieued thinkyng it not reasonable that a mans minde for his death shoulde bée scanned whylest he was aliue The greatest faulte that was founde was this that he had willed wheresoeuer he died that his body should be caried to Alexandria and sente tâ— Cleopatra Furthermore one Caluisius a fréende of Caesars obiected agaynst Antoniâ— That he had giuen hir the Librarie of Pâ—rgamo in the whiche was two hundred thousand bookes That he would rise from the table and tâ—ample vpon hir féete by compacte That he suffered the Ephesians in his presence to call hir Soueraigne That when hâ—gaue audienâ—e to Kings and Pâ—iâ—ces he woulde receyue letters of loue from hir written in tables of pearle and Cristall and reade them That when Furnius a man of authoritie in Rome and very eloquent did pleade a cause before him â—leâ—pâ—tra came by in a litter he left the court and â—aâ—â—e downe â—â—â—â—â— and lâ—â—nyng â—pon â—â—e lâ—tter went away with hir Many men thought Caluisius forged these crimes Therefore Antonies fréends made meanes to the people of Rome for him And sent Geminius vnto him to warne him to take héede that he loste not his power and be pronounced rebell to Rome When Geminius was come into Graecia Cleopatra suspected he came to entreate for Octauia And beyng at supper
infinite and incomparable but bycause of the short time it was like a bright lightning The whiche beyng diuided into manye Prouinces part of them continued noble a good whyle But our kings only dyd maintaine two hundred thousande footeinen fortie thousand horsemen thrée hundred Elephants vsed to the warre two thousande armed Chariots and so muche armoure as woulde serue thrée hundred thousande Besides this prouision for the lande they had two thousande of the small vessels and of galleys little and greate a thousande fyue hundreth with double furniture eyghte hundred shippes of shewe whiche they vsed for pompe with stems and sternes of golde seauen hundred and fortie talents of Egipt in their treasure al the whiche appeareth by the Princes recordes which be yet extant The seconde king of Egipt after Alexander who of al other was moste able to spende most bountifull to bestow most desirous to get lefte this behinde him Other Princes were not muche inferiour but by mutuall discorde of their posteritie which is the onely destruction of great kingdomes they came to nothing But the Romane Empire passed for greatnesse and felicitie for continuaunce and wisedom in the Senate neither wanted they manhoode nor patience nor painefulnesse til they had established their power nor gaue place to misfortune they loste sometime twenty thousande sometyme fortie and fiftye thousand at a battaile â–ª diuerse tymes the Citie was in daunger by famine pestilence and sedition Yet all this woulde not abate their ambition by the space of seauen hundred yeares stryuing with paine and perill till they brought their dominion kéeping stilâ—one â—rade â–ª to this heigth as they receyue moste ample fruits of their wisedome and happinesse These things many Gretians and Romanes haue put in writing and the Historie is farre excéeding the Macedonians and where as I haue considered their valiauntnesse and would sée it in euery nation my penne hath carried me from Lybia to Vberia from Iberia into Sicilie or Macedonie or to embassages confederacies of sundrye nations and then brought me againe as a forced man to Sicilie and to Carthage and eftsoones carried mee away from these vnperfect til I had gathered by partes howe of tthey sent ambassadours or armyes into Siâ—ily and what they did in that Iland til they had conquered it TheÌ„ how many ambassages how many leagues were made betwéen them what ouerthrowes on bothe sides were giuen till Carthage was ouercome and Africa made a prouince and then Carthage restored againe to the state that it is nowe I haue done the like in euerye prouince bycause I would know what the Romaines did euery where that I might sée the manhoode or fayntnesse of al natioÌ„s and the vertue and fortune of them that conquered and whatsoeuer other matter chaunced Thinking this woulde be acceptable to other also to vnderstand the Romaines actes after thys sorte I haue written of euery nation by it selfe leauing to write what was done in the meane time of other placyng them seuerally To set the times to euery thing I thought it too much the moste notable I will expresse by their distance of time At the firste the Romaines had one name as al other after came another and at length the thirde also was added to some of them to be known by some marke of body or vertue of mind as the Grecians had surnames ioyned to their names Some time I wyll put all chiefly of the noble men that they may be the better knowen the most I will name by the one or the other as shal be moste fitte And where there be thrée bokes that declare the Romaines doings in Italie I call them thrée the Romaines actes with the Italians and for the multitude of matter are thus diuided The firste conteyneth the reignes of the seauen kings therefore I call them The Historie of the Romane Kings Then followeth the Booke of matters done in Italy beside them that dwell in the coast of Ionia the which Booke for a difference is called The Romanes warre after the Kings The last of all in that land were the Samnites next the Ionian sea a nation most fierce and warlike fighting with the Romanes fourescore yeares till they and the Grecians their fellowes that inhabite Italy were subdued and this booke for the difference from the other two is called The Romanes warres with the Samnites All the other haue their seuerall titles as The Romanes warre with the Galles the Sicilians the Iberians with Hanniball with Carthage with Macedonia and so forthe The order of the whiche is after the order of the time in the which they were done though that many other things happened by the way The ciuill seditions and warre among themselues most horrible of all the rest shall be declared by their names that were chiefe doers of the same as Marius and Sylla Pompey and Caesar Antony and Caesar Augustus and the killers of Caesar the elder Then shall be shewed of Antony and Caesar whiche made an end of ciuill warre when Aegipt came vnder the Romanes dominion So all the warres are diuided into bookes of their nation or to the names of the Captaines if they be ciuill The last booke shall declare what armies they haue what reuenue they take of euery Nation â–ª what charges they be at with their ordinarie garrisons by sea and suche other And séeing I shall wright of their vertue it shall be fitte to beginne of theyr originall Who I am that haue written these things many knowe I haue shewed it before and to tell it more playnely â–ª I am of Alexandria accepted in my Countrey and exercised at Rome in causes of Justice touching the Emperoures til it pleased them to thinke ine worthy their seruice He that will know the rest may learne it of the Bookes that I haue written ¶ The Romanes warre with Mithridates King of Pontus by Appian of Alexandria WHen the Romanes had ouercome Mithridates the King after xlâ—j yeares warre they made Bithinia Cappadocia and other nations bordering vppon theÌ„ inhabiting the sea called â—â—xinuâ— subiecte vnto them And in the same warre they wonne of Cilicia those that were not yet of their obedience and of Syria Phoenitia Coelosiria and Palestina and the midde land to the floud Euphrates not béeing vnder Mithridates but by the violence of that victory And to some they put tributes by and by to some afterward Paphlagonia Galatia and Phrygia and Mysia ioyning to Phrygia and after them Lydia and Caria and Ionia and all the rest of Asia that is aboute Pergamo and old Grecia and Macedonia whiche Mithridates hadde gotten they recouered soone agayne and to manye of them appointed tributes that neuer had payd any For that which I thinke they call this chiefly the greate warre and the victory of it also greate and the Captayne of it that was Pompey in their proper language they name greate to this day for the number of the
one houre and in the meane tyme sette Ladders to the walles whyche were made of woodde and at the ende of the houre sette them on fyre They béeyng afrayde yéelded yet he spoyled it bycause they yéelded not of good will but of necessitie Other that yéelded he receyued till he had subdued all the Hirpian nation Then he wente againste the Samnites not that way which Mutâ—luâ— their Captaine kepte but an other vnknowen by a compasse and came vppon them suddainely and killed many of them and the other ranne hither and thither and Mutilus was hurt and with a few fledde to Asernia Sylla went against the Brianes where the common counsell of the factions were kept This Citie had thrée fortresses and whyles the Brianes came wholly against Sylla he sente aboute certayne whome he willed to take any of the fortresses that they coulde and to signifye it by a smoke whiche being done he gaue a hote assault on the front thrée houres togither and gote the Towne These things that Sommer were happily done of Sylla and toward winter he went to Rome to stand for the Consulship C. Pompeius subdued the Marsians Marusians and the Venusians C. Cossonius a Lieutenant did burne Salapia and tooke Canue By the comming of the Samnites with whome he fought valiantly till many dyed on both sides He was fayne to leaue the séege of Canutiâ— and goe to Canue Trebatius the Captayne of the Samnites sente vnto Cossonius that eyther he should come ouer the riuer that deuided their armies to fight or goe backe that he might come to him he weÌ„t backe and when Trebatius was comming ouer Cossonius set vppon him and had the better in the fight and as he woulde haue fledde ouer againe he killed fiftéene thousande of Trebatius men who with them that were left fledde to Canusio Cossonius hauing spoyled the landes of the Larineans Venutians and Asculans inuaded the Podiceans whome he wanne in two dayes Cecilius Metellus became his successor to his army who went against the Iapigians and ouerthrew them by battayle in the which Pompedius one of the Generalles of the reuolted people was killed the rest fled by heapes to Caecilius This was the sharpe contention in Italy called the fellowes warre till all the same were receyued into the ciuilitie of Rome Except the Lucanes and Samnites the whyche as it should séeme were after receyued also and were appointed to their seuerall companies as the former least beyng ioyned with the olde they should being more in number haue the vpper hand in elections Now beganne the Usurers to contende one against an other in the Citie bycause some had bought debtes with the interest beyng forbidden to take vsurie vpon vsuries by an olde law and a payne appoynted to him that so woulde vse his vsuries It should seeme that the olde Romaines detested vsurie as muche as the Greekes as a matter intollerable to the poore and cause of debate and euill will. The Persians also by like reason did accompte it full of fraude and leasing but vsurie being confirmed by custome and time they required it accordingly The other alleadged cause of delay through war and sedition and some threatned the vsurers with the statute Asellio a Judge to whome that iurisdiction belonged sought to agrée them but coulde not wherefore he gaue them leaue to trie the controuersie by lawe putting the Judges in remembrance as well of the custome as of the law as a thing doubtfull When the Usurers hearde Asellius make mention of the olde law they were gréeued and kylled him after this manner It was his turne to make oblation in the common place to Iupiters children the multitude standing about the sacrifice one of the former threw a stone at him and hit him wherefore he flong downe the vessell of sacrifice and ranne toward the Temple of Vesta where being preuented and excluded be fledde into a shoppe and there they slew him Many that went after him thinking he had bin fledde among the Virgines ranne into places where it was not lawfull for men to come Thus Asellio a Judge sacrificing and cladde with an holy vesture of golde as in such solemnities is wont was killed the second houre among the Temples in the miost of the common place The Senate made Proclamation that who so euer woulde bewray the killer if he were a fréemaÌ„ he should haue siluer if he were bond he shoulde haue fréedome if he were priuie to it he shoulde haue pardon but no maÌ„ would do it for the Usurers kept it secrete These murthers and ciuill dissentions hapned yet now and then but afterward Captaynes of sedition with great armies contended togither by law of warre their Countrey staÌ„ding as a pray to them that could catch it the beginning procéeding whereof after the followes warre was this When Mithridates King of Pontus and other nations hadde inuaded Bithinia Phâ—â—gia and Asia confining to the same as I haue shewed in my Booke of that matter it was by lotte assigned to Sylla the Consull béeyng yet in Rome to gouerne the armye in Asia in that warre of Mithridates But Marius who thoughte thys warre woulde be easie to dispatch and very muche worth desirous also of the Generalles roome attempted P. Sulpitius Tribune of the people with manye promises to be hys friende And he putte the newe Citizens of Italy in good hope that were inferioure in elections to be distributed thorough all the Companies not shewing that hée wente aboute any matter of his owne that hée myghte vse them as faithfull ministers in all assayes Sulpitius straightway propounded a law for it which if it had taken place Marius and Sulpitius should haue had their willes in all bycause the new Citizens did so farre excéede the olde which thing the auntients perceiuing did stoutely resist the new and both sides vsed stones and staues in their defence This euill growing still greater and the Consuls fearing the passing of the law that was at haÌ„d did proclayme a vacation for many dayes as in festiuall tymes was wont to be done that some intermission mighte be hadde of this lawe and inconuenience Sulpitius coulde not abyde thys vacation and therefore willed hys faction to come to the common place with weapons hidde and do as should fall out not sparing the very Consuls if néede were Thys done he spake agaynste the vacation as a thing contrarye to the lawe and bad the Consulles Sylla and Q. Pompey forthwyth to reuoke it that he mighte procéede to the approbation of the lawe A tumulte began and they béeyng prepared drewe their daggers and threatned to kyll the Consulles if they spake agaynste them wherefore Pompey secretely fledde and Sylla went asyde as to take aduice But Pompeys sonne béeyng sonne in lawe to Sylla was kylled of Sulpitius faction bycause hée spake somewhat liberally agaynste them Then Sylla returned and reuoked the vacation and
toke shippe at night and sayled forth not shewing whether only commaunding the captaines in the night to follow the light of his shippe and in the day the flag of the same to the maister whereof he commaunded after he had sayled a good way to set his course toward Alexandria and so being thrée days vpon the sea he came thither In thys place he was wel receiued of the kings officers the king being yet at mount Gassius Caesar at his comming pretended to haue nothing ado bycause of his fewe men but went about the Citie to beholde the beauty therof stood and heard the Philosophers disputations wherby he wanne muche loue and good fauour of the Alexandâ—â—â—â—s being among them as one hauing nothing to do But when his army was come hée layde handes vppon Photinus and 〈…〉 and put them to death for the wickednesse done to Pompey Therdotus fled into Asia whome Cassius founde there and caused to be hanged The Alexandrians were offended herewith and sette vppon him with the kings army that was there and made many fights with hym about the kings Palaice and at the sea banke where Caesar was driuen to take the sea and to swimme a good way The Alexandrians tooke hys cloake and bare it vp as a token of victory His last battell was wyth the Kyng hymselfe at the floude Nilus where he ouercame him and restored the kingdome to Cleopatra after he had bin nine moneths there Then he sayled vppon Nilus with foure hundred shippes in company of Cleopatra for whose pleasure he did many things all the whiche be particularly tolde in my booke of Egiptian matters He could not abide to behold Pompeys heade that was brought vnto him but commanded it to be buryed he also builded a little Temple before the Citie which was called the Temple of Reuengement the which in my tyme when Traiane the Emperoure did make warre against the Jewes was pulled downe of them to serue some turne in the warre When Caesar had done these things in Alexandria he wente wyth hys army thoroughe Syrta againste Pharnace who had bin very busy and taken diuerse of the Romaine Prouinces and gotten one victory of Domitius lieutenante to Caesar by the which growing stoute he tooke Amyso a Citie of Pontus allied to the Romaines all the people whereof he solde as slaues and made their children Enuchs but when Caesar came he fled as farre as he coulde and sent to Caesar for peace by hys Ambassadors who brought him a crowne of golde and offered foolishlye the Kyngs daughter in marryage to hym He perceyuing their presentes and messages wente on wyth his army entertayning the Kings Ambassadors with ordinary talke till they came nighe where he was encamped and then he said shall not this murtherer of his father bée yet killed then he leaped on horse And at the first charge Pharnace fled awaye and Caesar ouerthrewe the moste parte with a thousand horsemen that with the firste did kéepe in chase with hym At thys Caesar saide with a loude voice O happy Pompey that haddest to do with such meÌ„ of war as Mithridates this mans father was therby both to be thought and called Great Of this fight hée sent thus to Rome I came I sawe I conquered Pharnace was content to go to the kingdome of Bosphorus which Caesar appoynted him Caesar spent no time in trifles so many battels yet remayning behinde he went into Asia and by the waye gathered money of the Cities that were troubled wyth them that tooke paymentes of the Tributes as we haue shewed in our booke of Asia Now word was brought hym that there was sedition raysed in Rome and that Antony his lieutenaÌ„t did kéep the common place wyth an army Therefore setting all thinges aside hée made haste to Rome Whither when he was come all ciuill discorde ceassed but another began among his souldiours bycause they had not yet neyther receiued the promise made for theyr seruice at Pharsalo nor that it was reasoÌ„ that they shoulde be still kept in war therfore they cried euery man to go home He had promised theÌ„ rewards at Pharsalo and other rewardes when the war of Libya should be ended Therfore he sent them a thousand drammes apéece with a promise of more They bad him promise no more but pay al out of hand And it lacked but little that they had not killed Crispus Salustius had he not shifted away When Caesar hearde this he commanded the legion that Antony had for the guarde of the Citie to kéepe aboute his house the entry of the Citie fearing spoile and hée verye boldly all men fearing and diswading him from the rage of the souldiors went among them as they were in mutinie in the field of Mars and not being perceyued was set in the high seate They confusedly and with tumulte came running vnarmed as the maner is to salute the Generall when he commeth firste among them he commaunded theÌ„ that if they had any thing to say there touching the gifts they shoulde speake it before his face whiles hee was present they durste not speake a word for feare but taking a meane way cryed to be released of the war hoping bycause â—e had néede of men to finish the rest of his wars he would haue saide somewhat of the giftes But he contrarie to all opinion without any stay answered I discharge you They being astâ—med hereat and standing in a great silence he saide againe And I wil giue you all that I haue promised you when I shall triumphe â—â— the rest This word vnlooked for appearing so curteous did strike in them suche a consideratioÌ„ with an emulation that they thoughte it a shame to forsake their Capitaine in the middes of his enimies and that others shoulde triumph in their places They remembred what losse they should haue by leauing the warre in Libya and be thought enimies aswell to Caesar as to hys aduersaries for this doubt they remained silent in feare hoping yet that Caesar woulde haue giuen them rewarde and forgyuen them the faulte for hys present néede but he sate as silent as they Therefore hys friends wished him to say somwhat vnto them not to leaue them that so oft had serued hym with so shorte seuere a spéech He began to speake call theÌ„ Citizens in stead of souldiers which was a token they were discharged of y war become in their former priuate case This they could not suffer but cryed that they did repent and prayed they mighte be taken to the war Caesar refused it and came from the seate Then they made greater instaunce beséeching hym that if they hadde done amisse to punishe them he stayed a while neither going forward nor backewarde séeming to doubt what to do yet hée returned and sayde hée woulde punishe none of them but that it grieued him that the tenth legion whiche he had alwaies loued and
rouffes and chunmes or sat close with deepe silence vnder heapes of tyles some were as muche afrayde of their wiues or children that bare them no good will as they were of the killers some of their frée made me some of their bondmeÌ„ some creditours of their debtours some of their neyghbours coueting their groundes what souer had bin kept in before theÌ„ it burst forth a cruell and confused mutation of Senators of Consuls of Pretours of Tribunes of newe elect to those ostices or of them that had borne office It was to sée them fal at a slaues féete with teares namyng him sauiour and good maister and more pitifull it was that when they hadde done all this they could get no grace there was all shapes of miserie not as in sedition or sacking of a Cittie where men myghte feare their foes and enimies and trust their families but here they were more afrayde of them than of the killers The whiche beyng voyde of feare otherwise than in tumulte and warre they sodainelye of friendes were made enimies eyther for hydden hate or for the proclaymed rewards or for the gold and siluer in their houses for by thys occasion euerye man waxed extremely vnfaythful to his maister and their reward did ouerwhelme naturall dewty toward the same and he that was faythfull and wel willing was afrayde to help to hyde or conceale for the crueltie of the punishment The former feare of the seuentéene men did amaze them againe for then non being named but many sodaynly taken all were afrayde of the like and therefore sought togither for defence For vpon these proscriptions some were by and by giuen in pray to euery man and some being sure of themselues and desirous of the gaine hunted out the other to haue reward of the killers The reste of the common sorte some spoyled the houses of them that were killed which profit drew their minds from common féeling of present mischief some more temperate and mylde were astonished and amazed It séemed wonderful to them to consider that other â—â—ttâ—es being â—â—done by sâ—dâ—â—iâ—â— haue bin preserued againe by agreement Thiâ— Câ—â—tieâ—â— theâ—â—uision of the rulers hadde consumed and their agréement broughte it to desolation some dyed resisting the killers some withoute reuenge as not knowing by whome they were maimed There were some that killed themselues with voluntarie hunger some vsed halters some drowned their bodies some threwe themselues downe from the house toâ—â—â— some leapt into the fyre some offered themselues to the strykers some tarryed when they were called some hid and disgrated themselues vnséemelye some resisted the euill and thoughte to haue boughte it out some besyde the sentence of the thrée men of ignorance or deceit were dispatched as it did appeare by one that was slaine and not condemned when the head was shewen The condemned persons heads were brought before the seats in the common place that they that had brought them might receiue their goods On the other syde there was as much care and vertue bothe of women children brethren and seruauntes sauing and shifting for many and dying with them if they could not bring to passe what they ment and some killed that came to kill them Oh them that fledde some were drowned in the Sea Fortime being in all againste them some beyonde all hope retourned to offices in the Cittie to be Capitaines in warre and triumphes â–ª Suche demonstration made that season of things to be wondred at And these were done not in a priuate Citie nor in a weake and little kingdome but in the moste mightye and the Ladye of so manye nations bothe by lande and sea God himselfe did stirre it to bring it to that good order that nowe it is in There were suche thinges done of Sylla and before him of Marius the chiefe of the which I haue shewed in their liues and then men laye vnburyed But these doings for the worthynesse of these thrée men especiallye for the vertue and fortune of one of them whiche brought the Empire to a sure scate and left a stockâ— and name to them that now remaine after him a man may worthily think to be far of more importance which as they were more or lesse notable and be more fresh in memorie and lately done I wil declare yet not al for they be not worthy the telling â–ª that touche the simple death fléeing of them that were pardoned of the thrée men whiche after they retourned liued a life vnknowne but the moste maruellous that may make a manâ—frayd and cause credite to that is spoken before They bée manye and manye of the Romaines haue in many bookes written these of themselues of the which I wil shew briefely a fewe of the greateste in euerye sorte for the reliefe of the same and for the happynesse of the tyme that now is The euil began at the firste brunte â–ª of them that were yet in office And 〈◊〉 the Tribune was the firste that was kylled whose power was sacred and sure by lawe excéeding the reste so as the Tribunes haue committed some Consuls to prison This was the Tribune that fyrste

BYNNIMAN ¶ The Authours Preface to the bookes of the Romane wars with forraine Nations BEginning to write the Historie of the Romaines I haue thought it necessary to declare fyrst the borders of the nations that the Romanes ruled In the mayne Sea the moste parte of the Brittaines is theirs And goyng to the sea by the pillers of Hercules and sayling aboute these pillers they bee Lordes of al the Ilands and the firme land that is inhabited alongest the sea The firste on the right hande of that sea be the Marousians the other be the nations of the Lybians as farre as Carthage beyonde whome be the Nomadians whome the Romaines call Numidians and the Country Numidia The other Lybians do inhabite about the shallowe seas to Cyrene Then Cyrene the Marmaridans and Ammonians and they that dwell at the lake of Mâ—â—ea and the great citie which Alexander bid build in Egipt with Egipt it self as farre as a man may sayle in Nilus to the Easte Ethiopians and by sea to Pelusio Then tourning the course to Syria and Palestina and beyond them you go to parte of the Arabians The Phaenitians bordure vppon the Palâ—stines at the sea and beyond the Phaenitians the hollow part of Syria vnto the floude Euphrates From the sea aboue the porte Minaris and the sandes of Palmiria to Euphrates They had the Cilicians of Syria and the Cappadocians their neighbours parte of Armenia called Armenia the lesse And all the nations about Euxinus Pontus obeyed the Romaynes And the Syrians and Cilicians that be toward the sea The Armenians and Cappadocians inhabiting the nations of Pontus they of the middle land which they call Armenia the great of the whyche the Romaines take no tribute but they receiue kings by their appointment From Cappadocia and Cilicia to Ionia is the great lande like an Ilande whiche hathe Pontus Euxinus and Propentis and Hedespâ—nt on the right hande and the Aegaean Pamphilian and Egiptian sea on the lefte side for they say it maketh almost an Ilande on both sides and as men go to the Egiptian Sea there be the Pamphilians Lycians and after them Carâ—a to Ionia and the GalatiaÌ„s Bythinians Mysians and Phrygians be aboue Euxinus In the midde land the Pisidians and Lydians So manye nations inhabite Cherronesus of all the whiche the Romaines haue rule On the other side of that
the help of the Romanes and oppressed of famine and continuallye assaulted of Annibal for he hearing the Cittie was riche and full of golde gaue them no time to rest they commaunded all the golde and siluer both publique and priuate to be broughte into the market and mixed it with lead and yron that it shoulde bée vnprofitable to Annibal And bycause they hadde rather dye by sworde than by hunger at mydnyght when it was most darke they came out and assailed the watch of the Carthagies looking for no such thing and killed many of them whiles some sought and some putte on their armour The sight was long many Carthagies were slaine and all the Saguntinesâ— whose decay beyng séene from the wals some of the women leapt from the top of their houses some hanged themselues some killed first their little childreÌ„ then themselues This was the end of Sagunt which was a great mighty city When Annibal vnderstoode what was cone with y mony he tooke as many of the youth as was left whom he tormented and killeÌ„d And not thinking it good for a Citie situate at the sea and in a fertile soyle to be vnhabited he made it an inhabitation of Carthage whiche nowe as I thinke they call Carthage Spartâ—gena The Romaines sent Ambassadours to Carthage whiche shoulde require Annibal as a breaker of league vnlesse they wold confesse it to be done with the common consent except they wold deliuer hym to denounce theÌ„ war presently They dyd so and where the Carthagies would not deliuer Annibal they gaue the desyaunce and they saide it was done after this sorte The Carthages scorned the Romane Ambassador Hee tooke vppe the â—â—irt of his gawne and saide In this garment O Carthagies I bring you war and peace chose which you wil. They aunswered giue vs which thou listest he giuing war they cried al with one voice and we receiue it by by they sent to Hannibal to ouerrun al Iberia for the league was broken Wherfore he raunging euerye where got some by flattery some by threats and some by force He gathered many souldioures not shewyng to what purpose he didde it Hys meaning was to goe into Italy to sende Ambassadors to the Galles to search the way of the Alps to carry his army to Rome leaue Asdrubal in Spaine The Romaynes thinking they must make war with the Carthagies in Spaine and Affrica not once suspecting their comming into Italy sente Tiberius so 〈…〉 into Affrica with one hundred thrèescore and twoo ships and two 〈◊〉 What 〈◊〉 Longue and other Generalles didde in Labya all is shewen in the booke of the Libyan warres They sente into 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Scipio with thréescore Shyppes and ten thousande sâ—â—temen and seauen hundred horsemen to whome they ioyned for 〈◊〉 his brother Câ— Cornelius Scipio But one of them that is 〈◊〉 when he heard of the Marchants of 〈◊〉 that Anniball was comming into Italy and had passed the Alpes being aâ—raâ—â—â— he shoulde haue taken the Italians vnpâ—câ—â—ted he deliuered the army to hys brother and in a Galley sayled into 〈◊〉 What he or other Captaynes did that succeeded hym in thys war tyll Anniball was driuen out of Italy after sixteene yeares it is shewed of vs in the booke that followeth wherein also wee shewe all Annibals actes and therefore name the booke by Annibals name Cneus in this warre of the Romanes didde nothing worthy of wrytyng till his brother retourned vnto hym For when hys tyme was expired the Romanes sent the Consulls for hys successors to make the warre againste Anniball and hée was vnderconsull to them and sent againe into Spaine And so the twoo Scipioâ— didde make warre agaynste Asdruball in Spaine The Carthagies being prouoked to fight of Syphax kyng of Numidia they called home Asdrubal with part of his armye wherby the Scipios did easily gette the reste of Spaine and mayne Citties yéelded fréely For they were apte to gouerne armyes and also by persuasion to winne Cities to their obedience The Carthagies compounding with Syphax sente Asdruball into Spaine wyth more menne and wyth thyrtye Elephantes adioyning other two Captaines to them that is Mago and Asdrubal Gysgons sonnes After that tyme the Scipios had sharpe warre and yet were superiors of the whiche manye souldiours of the Carthagies and Elephants were consumed till the winter beyng come the Carthagies went to winter at the Turditanes And Pub. Scipio stayed at Caâ—â—ulone and Cncus at Orsonae To whom when it was shewed that Asdrubal was comming he went out of the Citie wyth a fewe to sée his enimies power but going too far vnaduisedlye he was circumuented of the contrary horsemen and killed and al that were with him Cneus Scipio not knowing the chaunce of hys brother sent hys souldiors to fetche artillerie wyth whom the Affricanes made a fraye Whiche Cneus vnderstanding came foorth in haste with the light harnessed to helpe hys men wherof the former being killed and putte backe Scipio was driuen into a Tower the whiche they sette a fyre and burned hym and hys companye Thus the two Scipios were killed men certainly of great worthinesse greatly loued and lamented of the Spaniards that had committed themselues for their sakes to the Romaine obedience When this was knowen at Rome the Romanes tooke it very grieuously and sent Marcellus which a little before was come out of Sicilie and with him Claudius wyth a nauy and ten thousande footemen two thousand horsemen and mony and victuall sufficient to make warre in Spaine Of the whiche no notable thing being done the Carthagies encreased very much for nowe they had wellnigh gotten all Spaine the Romaynes béeing dryuen into a little streight so as they were caste to the Pyrene hils The whiche when they at Rome hearde they were more grieued and afraide least whiles Anniball wasted those Regions whiche were at the sides of Italie the other army shoulde inuade another way therfore thoughe they woulde neuer so muche they coulde not leaue Spaine fearing the warre of Spaine woulde stretch to Italy Therefore they appointed a day to determine a Generall for the war in Spaine To the whiche prouince when none nowe offered hymselfe they were in more trouble and feare than before for all the Senators were still for feare till Cornelius Scipio sonne to Publius that was slaine in Spaine a yong man of xxiiij yeres of age but wise accompted noble in mind did step forth boldly spake lamentably the harde happe of hys father vncle affirming that he alone was left to reuenge both their deaths and other things he added with great eloquence and vehemenete so as it were by a diuine inflamation he promised to restore not onely Spaine but also to take Carthage wherefore he was thoughte to boaste too muche lyke a young man but he got the fauoure of the people whiche was stroken with greate feare For they that â—eare when better hope is promised them they
that were yet holden of the enimies xl furlongs about in the meane season gaue an onset vpon Teutinus another captaine of the Dalmatians put him to flight and chased him by the mountaines toke the citie in his sight For y Citizens coÌ„ming out before the preparation was finished they had a repulse and the Romanes in the flight got into the Citie with theÌ„ when they had slaine the third part of the Citizens they droue the rest into the Castle There was one bande of the Romanes that kept the gats vppon whom when the Barbarians issewed the fourth night they were afrayd and forsoke the gates but Caesar came repulsed the enimies and the next day they yeelded to them Of the band that offended he punished euery tenth man by lot Of y Captaines of that bands he chastised two of euery ten the other at the sommer he coÌ„maunded to eate barley in stead of wheate Thus was Pomona taken Teutinus had diuided his army into diuerse parts in the hils wherefore the Romanes did not folow them farre being ignoraunt of the way and fearing the vnknowen and consounded pathes For there is no entrie into the woods by any plain way and the Dalmatians did lurke between two hils when they layd wayte for Gobinius in the which place they set also an ambushe for Caesar but he burned the woods on eyther side the way and sent his army by the hils and himselfe went vp the vallies cutting downe the woods inuading the Cities and burning what so euer was in his way He besieged the Citie Setouia into ayde of the whiche came a great number of Barbarians with whom Caesar met and wold not suffer them to passe Being hurt in that fight in the knée he lay sicke many dayes Being recouered he went to Rome for the Consulshippe which he toke with Bar batio Tullo leauing Statilius Taurus to ende the warre he entring his office at the beginning of the month That daye Antonie being appointed to his charge he went again against y Dalmatians keping yet the power of the thrée men for now the seconde fiue yeares were expired the which they toke of themselues the people confirmed it Therfore the Dalmatians being in waÌ„t of victuals on euery side they came of theÌ„selues to Caesar humbly yéelding and deliuering seauen hundered hostagies of their olune children Caesar commaunded them to bring the ensignes that they had taken from Gabinius and to pay the tribute whiche they promised to Caius Caesar and had deferred to this tyme And so they were made the more obedient to the Romaines euer after Caesar set these ensignes in the Gallerie that is called Octauia When the Dalmatians were ouercome the Derbanes came to yéelde themselues and to deliuer pledges and pay tributes which they had so long omitted Then Caesar came néerer to them and they deliuered their pledges which in his absence being sicke they refused to do These are thought to be the laste whiche Caesar brought to obedience whiche before had reuolted and were not acquainted with others rule Wherefore the Senate appoynted him to triuâ—phe of the Illyrians which he did when he had ouercome Antonie The other Illirians that the Romanes had before the Paeonians were the Retians Nâ—rigians Mitians whiche inhabite at the Euxine sea I thinke C. Caesar did subdew the Retians and Noritians when he made warre vpon the Celtians or that Augustus did conquere them when he inuaded the Paeonians for they haue their habitation betwéene both I finde no warre made against them of purpose wherfore I thinke they were ouercome with their neighbours For M. Lucullus L. Lucullus brother that ouercame Mithridates did ouerrunne all the region of the Mytians and helde his course to the floud in the which place there be foure Greeke cities next to y Mytians that is Histrâ—s Dionisopâ—lâ—s Odisus and Mesembria Then he brought out of Gallia that great Apollo that standeth in the palace I do not remember that any other that ruled that common wealth did bring the Mytians to tribute or Augustus but Tiberius which reigned after Augustus had them But these things are shewed of me in their place Before they had Egipt what the Emperours did after Egipt was wonne or how they spedde in warre we haue shewed them as their proper actes after these coÌ„mon enterprises in the which many things be also conteyned of the Mysians Now seing the Romanes take the Mysians to be Illyrians this booke shal be named of me the Illyrians the which I wrote that it might be an absolute matter For Lucullus ruling in the peoples time did ouerrun the Mysians and Tiberius did receyue them vnder his Monarchie ¶ The Romanes warre with the Celtes THe Celtes did first inuade the Romanes and toke Rome without the Capitoll and burned it Camillus did ouercome them and dryue them away and when they came agayne another time he dyd ouerthrow them and triumphed of them wheÌ„ he was fourescore yeares of age The thirde time they came into Italy when they were destroyed by the Romanes vnder Tiâ—us Quintus their Generall After them the Boians a most fierce nation of the Celtes came vpon the Romanes and Caius Sulpitius Dictator wente agaynste them and vsed this policie He had the Souldyoures of the front to cast their darts and streight way to set downe till the seconde thirde and fourth had done the like then euery one stouping when they had done their shotte that the contrarie weapons mighte be throwne in â—ayne when the last hadde throwne then to runne all with one force and crye with violence vpon the enimie for so they shoulde affray them if they came so suddaynely to fight with them at hand after so greate a brunt of strength Their weapons were not like the dartes which they of Rome call Gese the halfe of a square staffe with a péece of yron square also and that soft beside the poynt and euen thus these Boyans were destroyed of the Romanes with all their armie Popilius ouercame other Celtes and after him Camillus sonne to Camillus did the same and Paulus Aemilius sette vp tokens of victorie against the Celtes Before the CoÌ„sulships of Marius a greater number more warlike and for age to bée feared inuaded Italy and Gallia and ouercame some Censuls of Rome and ouerthrewe their armies againste whome Marius went and ouercame them all The last and greatest fight with the Galles was done by C.
