Tacitus Quotes

Vitellius Gave Orders For Depleting The Strength Of The Legions And Auxiliaries. Recruiting Was Forbidden, And Discharges Offered Without Restriction. This Policy Was Disastrous For The Country And Unpopular Among The Soldiers, Who Found That Their Turn For Work And Danger Came Round All The More Frequently, Now That There Were So Few To Share The Duties. Besides, Their Efficiency Was Demoralized By Luxury. Nothing Was Left Of The Old-fashioned Discipline And The Good Rules Of Our Ancestors, Who Preferred To Base The Security Of Rome On Character And Not On Money.
