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

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.
