Nor does that illustrious man Marcus Regulus whom the Carthaginians, having
cut off his eyelids and bound him in a machine, killed by keeping him awake,
appear to have had punishment inflicted on him. Nor does Caius Marius whom
Italy, which he had saved, saw
sunk in the marshes of Minturnae, and whom Africa, which he had subdued, beheld banished and
shipwrecked. For those were the wounds of fortune, not of guilt, but
punishment is the penalty of crime. Nor should I, if I were now to pray for
evils to fall upon you as I often have done (and indeed the immortal gods
have heard those prayers of mine,) pray for disease, or death, or tortures
to befall you. That is an execution worthy of Thyestes, the work of a poet
who wishes to affect the min

In 8. 314 the Fauns and Nymphs
are the indigenous race that inhabited
Italy when Saturn came down to civilize
it. Laurens is properly the name of
that territory and tribe whose capital was
Laurentum: but Virg. uses it as a synonym
of Latinus. Thus Turnus the
Rutulian is called Laurens below v. 650.
Latium in its latest and widest signification
would include Minturnae on the
Liris.

The
fleet at Misenum, so much can be done in times of
civil discord by the daring of even a single man, was drawn into revolt by
Claudius Faventinus, a centurion cashiered by Galba, who forged letters in
the name of Vespasian offering a reward for treachery. The fleet was under
the command of Claudius Apollinaris, a man neither firm in his
loyalty, nor energetic in his treason. Apinius Tiro, who had filled
the office of prætor, and who then happened to be at Minturnæ, offered to head the revolt. By these men
the colonies and municipal towns were drawn into the movement, and as Puteoli was particularly zealous for Vespasian, while
Capua on the other hand remained loyal to Vitellius,
they introduced their municipal jealousy into the civil war. Claudius
Julianus, who had lately exercised an indulgent rule over the fleet at Misenum, was selected by Vitellius to soothe the
irritation of the soldiery. He was supported by a city cohort and a troop of
gladiators whose chief office

' No other deeds the fates laid up in store
' When Marius,When dragged from his hiding place in the marsh, Marius was sent by the magistrates of Minturnae to the house of a woman named Fannia, and there locked up in a dark apartment. It does not appear that he was there long. A Gallic soldier was sent to kill him; 'and the eyes of Marius appeared to him to dart a strong flame, and a loud voice issued from the gloom, "Man, do you dare to kill Caius Marius?"' He rushed out exclaiming, 'I cannot kill Caius Marius.' (Plutarch, ' Marius,' 38.) victor over Teuton hosts,
