[87] Exercere arma a variety for “exercere se in armis.” Comp. 3. 281, “Exercent palaestras,” with 6. 642, “Pars in gramineis exercent membra palaestris.” So “exercere artem” and similar expressions in prose writers. ‘Portus’ 1. 427. There is as little reason with Forb. to understand ‘propugnacula’ especially of moles and breakwaters, so as to harmonize with ‘portus,’ as with one or two critics to change ‘portus’ into ‘portas.’ The making of harbours and fortifications is simply distinguished from military practice.
