[99: The exposition in Strabo, ii. 5, 8, p. 115; iv. 5, 3, p. 200, gives evidently the governmental version. That, after annexation of the island, the free traffic and therewith the produce of the customs would decline, must doubtless be taken as conceding the proposition that the Roman rule and the Roman tribute affected injuriously the prosperity of the subjects.] [100: Suetonius, _Claud._ 17, specifies as cause of the war: _Britanniam tunc tumultuantem ob non redditos transfugas_; which O. Hirschfeld justly brings into connection with _Gai._ 44: _Adminio Cunobellini Britannorum regis filio, qui pulsus a patre cum exigua manu transfugerat, in deditionem recepto_. By the _tumultuari_ are doubtless meant at least projected expeditions for pillage to the Gallic coast. The war was certainly not waged on account of Bericus (Dio, lx. 19).] [101: Mona was in like manner afterwards _receptaculum perfugarum_ (Tacitus, _Ann._ xiv. 29).] [102: Tacitus, _Ann._ xii. 37: _pluribus gentibus imperitantem_.] [103: The three legions of the Rhine were the 2d Augusta, the 14th, and the 20th; from Pannonia came the 9th Spanish. The same four legions were still stationed there at the beginning of the government of Vespasian; the latter called away the 14th for the war against Civilis, and it did not return to Britain, but, in its stead, probably the 2d Adiutrix. This was presumably transferred under Domitian to Pannonia; under Hadrian the 9th was broken up and replaced by the 6th Victrix. The two other legions, the 2d Augusta and the 20th, were stationed in England from the beginning to the end of the Roman rule.] [104: The identification, based only on dubious emendations, of the Boduni and Catuellani in Dio. lx. 20, with tribes of similar name in Ptolemy, cannot be correct; these first conflicts must have taken place between the coast and the Thames.] [105: Tacitus, _Ann._ xii. 31 (_P. Ostorius_) _cuncta castris ad ...ntonam_ (MSS. read _castris antonam_) _et Sabrinam fluvios cohibere parat_. So the passage is to be restored, only that the name of the river Tern not elsewhere given in tradition cannot be supplied. The only inscriptions found in England of soldiers of the 14th legion, which left England under Nero, have come to light at Wroxeter, the so-called "English Pompeii." The epitaph of a soldier of the 20th has also been found there. The camp described by Tacitus was perhaps common at first to the two legions, and the 20th did not go till afterwards to Deva. That the camp at Isca was laid out immediately after the invasion is plain from Tacitus, _Ann._ xii. 32, 38.]
