Ipse Vitellius a ponte Mulvio insigni equo, paludatus accinctusque, senatum et populum ante se agens, quo
minus ut captam urbem ingrederetur, amicorum consilio deterritus, sumpta praetexta et composito agmine incessit.
quattuor legionum aquilae per frontem totidemque circa e
legionibus aliis vexilla, mox duodecim alarum signa et post
peditum ordines eques; dein quattuor et triginta cohortes, ut
nomina gentium aut species armorum forent, discretae. ante
aquilas praefecti castrorum tribunique et primi centurionum
candida veste, ceteri iuxta suam quisque centuriam, armis
donisque fulgentes; et militum phalerae torquesque splendebant: decora facies et non Vitellio principe dignus exercitus. sic Capitolium ingressus atque ibi matrem complexus
Augustae nomine honoravit.
