Igitur navium militum armorum paratu strepere provinciae, sed nihil aeque fatigabat quam pecuniarum conquisitio: eos esse belli civilis nervos dictitans Mucianus non ius
aut verum in cognitionibus, sed solam magnitudinem opum
spectabat. passim delationes, et locupletissimus quisque in
praedam correpti. quae gravia atque intoleranda, sed necessitate armorum excusata etiam in pace mansere, ipso
Vespasiano inter initia imperii ad obtinendas iniquitates haud
perinde obstinante, donec indulgentia fortunae et pravis ma-
gistris didicit aususque est. propriis quoque opibus Mucianus
bellum iuvit, largus privatim, quod avidius de re publica
sumeret. ceteri conferendarum pecuniarum exemplum secuti, rarissimus quisque eandem in reciperando licentiam habuerunt.
