armed combats should no longer be expended.

[-32-]The reason that he sent Germanicus and not Agrippa to take the
field was that the latter possessed a servile nature and spent most of
his time fishing, wherefore he also used to call himself Neptune. He used
to give way to violent anger and slandered Julia as a stepmother, while
upon Augustus he heaped abundant reproaches in the matter of his paternal
inheritance. When he could not be made to moderate his conduct he was
banished and his property was given to the aerarium militare: he himself
was put ashore on Planasia, the island near Corsica.--These were the
events in the City.

Germanicus reached Pannonia, where armies from various points were
shortly to assemble; the Batos watched for Severus, who was approaching
from Moesia, and fell upon him unexpectedly, while he was encamped near
the Volcaean marshes. The pickets outside the ramparts they frightened
and hurled back within it, but as the men inside stood their ground, the

followed it, due to their using grasses of various sorts and roots for

Romans. So even as they were they still resisted. And one Scenobardus,
who had feigned a readiness to change sides, and had had dealings on this
very business with Manius Ennius, commander of the garrison in Siscia,
declaring that he was ready to desert, became afraid that he might be
injured ere his project was complete, and [19] ...

_The Po, which they call the monarch of rivers that cleave the soil of
Italy, known by the name Eridanus, had its waters let into a very
broad excavation, on the command of the emperor Augustus. A seventh
division of the channel of this river flows through the center of the
state, affording at its mouth a most satisfactory harbor,
