Roscius and L. Caesar, having received this answer, departed for Capua, where they found Pompey and the
consuls, and laid before them Caesar's proposals. After deliberating upon
the affair, they sent a reply, in writing, by the same messengers, the
purport of which was: "That Caesar should quit Rimini, return to Gaul, and disband his army; which
conditions performed, Pompey would go into Spain. In the meantime, till Caesar gave
security for the performance of what he had promised, neither Pompey nor the
consuls would discontinue the levies."

In these two actions, Caesar lost nine hundred and sixty private men, thirty
officers, and several knights of note, as Flavius Tuticanus Gallus, a
senator's son; C. Felginus, of Placentia; A. Gravius, of Puteoli; and M. Sacrativir, of Capua. But the greatest part of these
died without wounds, being trodden to death in the ditch, about the works,
and on the banks of the river, occasioned by the flight and terror of their
own men. He lost also thirty-two colours. Pompey was saluted emperor on this
occasion; a title which he bore ever after, and suffered himself to be
accosted by: but neither in the letters which he wrote, nor in his consular
ensigns, did he think proper to assume the laurel. The prisoners were
delivered up to Labienus at his own request; and this deser

About the same time Lucilius
Bassus was sent with some light cavalry to establish order in Campania, where the towns were still disturbed, but by
mutual animosities rather than by any spirit of opposition to the new
Emperor. The sight of the soldiery restored quiet, and the smaller colonies
escaped unpunished. At Capua, however, the third
legion was stationed to pass the winter, and the noble families suffered
severely. Tarracina, on the other hand, received no
relief; so much more inclined are we to requite an injury than an
obligation. Gratitude is a burden, while there seems to be a profit in
revenge. They were consoled by seeing the slave of Verginius Capito, whom I
have mentioned as the betrayer of Tarracina,
gibbeted in the very rings of knighthood, the gift of Vitellius, which they
had seen him wear.
IMPERIAL HONORS FOR
VESPASIAN
At Rome the Senate, delighted and
full of confident hope, decreed to Vespasian all the honours customarily
bestowed on the Emperors.

Casar had warning given him of his fate by indubitable omens.
A few months before, when the colonists settled at Capua, by virtue of the Julian law, were demolishing some old sepulchres, in building countryhouses, and were the more eager at the work, because they discovered certain vessels of antique workmanship, a tablet of brass was found in a tomb, in which Capys, the founder of Capua, was said to have been buried, with an inscription in the Greek language to this effect: "Whenever the boneCapua, was said to have been buried, with an inscription in the Greek language to this effect: "Whenever the bones of Capys come to be discovered, a descendant of Iulus will be slain by the hands of his kinsmen, and his death revenged by fearful disasters throughout Italy."
Lest any person should regard this anecdote as a fabulous or silly invention, it was circulated upon the authority of Caius Balbus, an intimate friend of Caesar's. A few days likewise before his death, he was informed that the horses, which, upon his crossing the Rubicon, he had consecrated, and turned loose to graze without a keeper,
