[43: This was the 1200 soldiers with whom, as Agrippa the king of the Jews says in Josephus (_Bell. Jud._ ii. 16, 4), the Romans held in subjection the whole of Gaul.] [44: Nothing is so significant of the position of Treves at this time as the ordinance of the emperor Gratianus of the year 376 (_Cod. Theod._ xiii. 3, 11), that there should be given to the professors of rhetoric and of the grammar of both languages in all the capitals of the then subsisting seventeen Gallic provinces, over and above their municipal salary, a like addition from the state chest: but for Treves this was to be on a higher scale.] [45: In Caesar there appear doubtless, taken on the whole, the same cantons as are thereafter represented in the Augustan arrangement, but at the same time manifold traces of smaller client-unions (comp. iv. 237) {iv. 226.}; thus as "clients" of the Haedui are named the Segusiavi, the Ambivareti, the Aulerci Brannovices, and the Brannovii (_B. G._ vii. 75), as clients of the Treveri the Condrusi (_B. G._ iv. 6), as clients of the Helvetii the Tulingi and Latobriges. With the exception of the Segusiavi, all these are absent from the Lyons diet. Such minor cantons not wholly merged into the leading places may have subsisted in great number in Gaul at the time of the conquest. If, according to Josephus (_Bell. Jud._ ii. 16, 4), three hundred and five Gallic cantons and twelve hundred towns obeyed the Romans; these may be the figures that were reckoned up for Caesar's successes in arms; if the small Iberian tribes in Aquitania and the client-cantons in the Celtic land were included in the reckoning, such numbers might well be the result.] [46: This is indicated not only by the inscription in Boissieu, p. 609, where the words _tot[i]us cens[us Galliarum]_ are brought into connection with the name of one of the altar-priests, but also by the honorary inscription erected by the three Gauls to an imperial official _a censibus accipiendis_ (Henzen, 6944). He appears to have conducted the revision of the land-register for the whole country, just as formerly Drusus did, while the valuation itself took place by commissaries for the individual districts. A _sacerdos Romae et Augusti_ of the Tarraconensis is praised _ob curam tabulari censualis fideliter administratam_ (_C. I. L._ ii. 4248); thus doubtless the diets of all provinces were invested with the apportionment of the taxes. The imperial finance-administration of the three Gauls was at least, as a rule, so divided that the two western provinces (Aquitania and Lugudunensis) were placed under one procurator, Belgica and the two Germanies under another; yet there were probably not legally fixed powers for this purpose. A regular taking part in the levy may not be inferred from the discussion held by Hadrian--evidently as an extraordinary step--with representatives of all the Spanish districts (_vita_, 12).]
