About this time Achaia and Asia Minor were
terrified by a false report that Nero was at hand. Various rumours were
current about his death; and so there were many who pretended and believed
that he was still alive. The adventures and enterprises of the other
pretenders I shall relate in the regular course of my work. The pretender in
this case was a slave from Pontus, or, according to
some accounts, a freedman from Italy, a skilful
harp-player and singer, accomplishments, which, added to a resemblance in
the face, gave a very deceptive plausibility to his pretensions. After
attaching to himself some deserters, needy vagrants whom he bribed with
great offers, he put to sea. Driven by stress of weather to the island of
Cythnus, he induced certain soldiers, who were on
their way from the East, to join him, and ordered others, who refused, to be
executed. He also robbed the traders and armed all the most able-bodied of
the slaves. The centurion Sisenna, who was the bearer o

powerful personage, who, when the kingdom was converted into a Roman
province, ill brooked the change. Accordingly he raised in the name of
Vitellius the tribes that border on Pontus, bribed a
number of very needy adventurers by the hope of plunder, and, at the head of
a force by no means contemptible, made a sudden attack on the old and famous
city of Trapezus, founded by the Greeks on the
furthest shore of the Pontus. There he destroyed a
cohPontus. There he destroyed a
cohort, once a part of the royal contingent. They had afterwards received
the privileges of citizenship, and while they carried their arms and banners
in Roman fashion, they still retained the indolence and licence of the
Greek. Anicetus also set fire to the fleet, and, as the sea was not guarded,
escaped, for Mucianus had brough
