Bold before the danger came and timid in the
moment of peril, the Helvetii, though at the commencement of the movement
they had chosen Claudius Severus for their leader, knew not how to use their
arms, to keep their ranks, or to act in concert. A pitched battle with
veteran troops would be destruction, a siege would be perilous with

Vitellius were put to death. More, however, eluded discovery, escaping
either through the faithful protection of friends or by their own tact. Thus
the preparations of Vitellius became known, while the plans of Vespasian
were for the most part kept secret. At first the supineness of Vitellius was
in fault; afterwards the occupation of the Pannonian
Alps with troops stopped all intelligence. And on the sea the prevalent
Etesian winds favoured an eastward voyage, but hindered all return
