_Est videre. Est_ for _licet_. Graece et poetice. Not so used in the earlier Latin prose. See Z. 227. _Non in alia vilitate_, i.e. eadem vilitate, aeque vilia, _held in the same low estimation.--Humo_. Abl. of material. _Proximi_, sc. ad ripam. Nearest to the Roman border, opposed to _interiores_. _Serratos_. Not elsewhere mentioned; probably coins with serrated edges, still found. The word is post-Augustan. _Bigatos_. Roman coins stamped with a biga or two-horse chariot. Others were stamped with a quadriga and called quadrigati. The bigati seem to have circulated freely in foreign lands, cf. Ukert's Geog. of Greeks and Romans, III. 1: Trade of Germany, and places cited there. "The serrati and bigati were old coins, of purer silver than those of tho Emperors." Ky. Cf. Pliny, H. N. 33, 13. _Sequuntur_. Sequi==expetere. So used by Cic., Sal., and the best writers. Compare our word _seek_. _Nulla affectione animi. Not from any partiality for the silver in itself_ (but for convenience). _Numerus_. Greater number and consequently less relative value of the silver coins. On _quia_, cf. note, H. 1, 31. VI. _Ne--quidem_. _Not even_, i.e. iron is scarce as well as gold and silver. The weapons found in ancient German graves are of _stone_, and bear a striking resemblance to those of the American Indians. Cf. Ukert, p. 216. Ad verba, cf. note, His. 1, 16: _ne--fueris_. The emphatic word always stands between _ne_ and _quidem_. H. 602, III. 2; Z. 801.-- _Superest_. Is over and above, i.e. _abounds_. So superest ager, § 26. _Vel_. Pro _sive_, Ciceroni inauditum. Gün. Cf. note, 17. _Frameas_. The word is still found in Spain, as well as Germany. _Lancea_. is also a Spanish word, cf. Freund. _Nudi_. Cf. § 17, 20, and 24. Also Caes., B.G. 6, 21: magna corporis parte nuda. _Sagulo_. Dim. of sago. A small short cloak.--_Leves_==Leviter induti. The clause _nudi--leves_ is added _here_ to show, that their dress is favorable to the use of missiles. _Missilia spargunt_. Dictio est Virgiliana. K. _Coloribus_. Cf. nigra scuta, § 43. "Hence coats of arms and the origin of heraldry." Mur. _Cultus_. Military equipments. Cultus complectitur omnia, quae studio et arte eis, quae natura instituit, adduntur. K. _Cassis aut galea_. _Cassis_, properly of metal; _galea_ of leather (Gr.: galen); though the distinction is not always observed. _Equi--conspicui_. Cf. Caes. B.G. 4, 2, 7, 65.
