and Cornelius Fuscus, bringing up his army and disposing his Liburnian ships
at the nearest points of the shore, invested the place by sea and land. His
troops occupied the plains of Umbria and that
portion of the Picentine territory that is washed by the Adriatic, and now the whole of Italy was divided by the range of the Apennines between Vespasian and Vitellius. Valens,

Antonius, enlarging at one time on the necessity of following up their
operations, at another on the advantage of delay, and with expressions so
worded that he could, according to the event, repudiate a disastrous, or
claim a successful policy. To Plotius Griphus, who had lately been ra
