"The entire army of
Vitellius," he said, "has already arrived. Nor have they much strength in
their rear, since Gaul is ready to rise, and to
abandon the banks of the Rhine, when such hostile
tribes are ready to burst in, would not answer his purpose. A hostile people
and an intervening sea keep from him the army of Britain; Spain is not over full
of troops; Gallia Narbonensis has been cowed by the
attack of our ships and by a defeat; Italy beyond
the Padus is shut in by the Alps, cannot be relieved from the sea, and has been
exhausted by the passage of his army. For that army there is nowhere any
corn, and without supplies an army cannot be kept together. Then the
Germans, the most formidable part of the enemy's forces, should the war be
protracted into the summer, will sink with enfeebled frames under the change
of country and climate. Many a war, formidable in its first impetuosity, has
passed into nothing through the weariness of delay. We, on the other hand,

Meanwhile Vitellius, as yet
unaware of his victory
was bringing up the remaining strength of
the army of Germany just as if the campaign had yet
to be fought. A few of the old soldiers were left in the winter quarters,
and the conscription throughout Gaul was hastily
proceeded with, in order that the muster-rolls of the legions which remained
behind might be filled up. The defence of the bank of the Rhine was entrusted to Hordeonius Flaccus. Vitellius
himself added to his own army 8000 men of the British conscription. He had
proceeded a few days' march, when he received intelligence of the victory at
Bedriacum, and of the termination of the war through
Otho's death. He called an assembly, and heaped praises on the valour of the
soldiers. When the army demanded that he should confer equestrian rank on
Asiaticus his freedman, he checked the disgraceful flattery. Then, with his
characteristic fickleness, in the privacy of a banquet he granted the very
distinction which he

Meanwhile Flaccus, who had heard of the siege of the camp, and had sent into
all parts of Gaul to collect auxiliaries, put under
command of Diilius Vocula, legate of the 18th legion, some troops picked
from the legions with orders to hasten by forced marches along the banks of
the Rhine. Flaccus himself, who was weak in health
and disliked by his troops, travelled with the fleet. The troops indeed
complained in unmistakeable language that their general had despatched the
Batavian cohorts from Mogontiacum, had feigned
ignorance of the plans of Civilis, and was inviting the German tribes to
join the league. "This," they said, "has strengthened Vespasian no less than
the exertions of Primus Antonius and Mucianus. Declared enmity and hostility
may be openly repulsed, but treachery and fraud work in darkness, and so
cannot be avoided. Civilis stands in arms against us, and arranges the order
of his battle; Hordeonius from his chamber or his litter gives such orders
as may bes
