With feelings somewhat
appeased, they arrived at Bonna, the winter-camp of
the first legion. The troops there were even more enraged against
Hordeonius, and laid on him the blame of the late disaster. They said that
it was by his orders that they had offered battle to the Batavians,
supposing that the legions from Mogontiacum were
following them; that it was through his treachery that they had been
slaughtered, no reinforcements coming up; that all these events were unknown
to the other legions, and were not told to their Emperor, though the sudden
outburst of treason might have been crushed by the prompt action of so many
provinces. Hordeonius read to the army copies of all the letters which he
had sent about Gaul, begging for reinforcements, and
established as a precedent a most disgraceful practice, namely, the handing
over the despatches to the standard-bearers of the legions, through whose
means they were read by the soldiers sooner than by the generals. He then

Such was the state of
the war, when Petilius Cerialis reached Mogontiacum.
Great expectations were raised by his arrival. Eager for battle, and more
ready to despise than to be on his guard against the enemy, he fired the
spirit of the troops by his bold language; for he would, he said, fight
without a moment's delay, as soon as it was possible to meet the foe. The
levies which had been raised in Gaul he ordered back
to their respective States, with instructions to proclaim that the leg sk a decisive battle. This made Cerialis move with more rapidity. He
sent to the Mediomatrici persons commissioned to conduct the legions which
were there by the shortest route against the enemy; and, collecting such
troops as there were at Mogontiacum and such as he
had brought with himself, he arrived in three days' march at Rigodulum. Valentinus, at the head of a large body of
Treveri, had occupied this position, which was protected by hills, and by
the river Mosella. He had also stren
