The soil poisoned with blood forbade the enemy to remain long by the ruins
of the buried city. They advanced to the third milestone, and gathered the
dispersed and panic-stricken Vitellianists round their proper standards. The
vanquished legions were then scattered throughout Illyricum; for civil war was not over, and they might
play a doubtful part. Messengers carrying news of the victory were then
despatched to Britain and to Spain. Julius Calenus, a tribune, was sent to Gaul, and Alpinius Montanus, prefect of a cohort, to Germany; as the one was an Æduan, the other a
Trever, and both were Vitellianists, they would be a proof of the success.
At the same time the passes of the Alps were
occupied with troops, for it was suspected that Germany was arming itself to support Vitellius

Valens once
captured, every thing turned to swell the resources of the conqueror; the
lead was taken in Spain by the 1st legion (the
"Adjutrix"), whose recollections of Otho made them hate Vitellius; they drew
with them the 6th and 10th. Gaul did not hesitate to
follow. A partiality long felt in Britain for
Vespasian, who had there commanded the 2nd legion by the appointment of
Claudius, and had served with distinction, attached that province to his

were many centurions and soldiers promoted by Vitellius, who felt uneasy in
exchanging for another ruler one whom they knew already.

Civilis said: "We must await the arrival of the
Transrhenane tribes, the terror of whose name will break down the shattered
strength of Rome. As for the Gauls, what are they
but the prey of the conqueror? And yet the chief strength of the nation, the
Belgæ, are with us, either openly, or in heart." Tutor maintained that
the power of Rome would only increase with delay, as
her armies were assembling from all quarters. "One legion," he said, "has
already been brought over from Britain; others have
been summoned from Spain, or are advancing from Italy. Nor are these troops newly raised levies, but
they are veteran soldiers, experienced in war. But the Germans, whom we are
expecting, do not obey orders, and cannot be controlled, but always act
according to their own caprice. The money too and other presents by which
alone they can be bribed are more plentiful among the Romans, and no one can
be so bent on fighting as not to prefer repose to peril, when the profit is
