[8: That the fall of Drusus took place in the region of the Saale we may be allowed to infer from Strabo, vii. 1, 3, p. 291, although he only says that he perished on the march between Salas and Rhine, and the identification of the Salas with the Saale rests solely on the resemblance of name. From the scene of the mishap he was then transported as far as the summer camp (Seneca, _Cons. ad Marciam_ 3: _ipsis illum hostibus aegrum cum veneratione et pace mutua prosequentibus nec optare quod expediebat audentibus_), and in that camp he died (Sueton., _Claud._ 1). This camp lay in the heart of the barbarian land (Valerius Max. v. 5, 3) and not very far from the battlefield of Varus (Tacitus, _Ann._ ii. 7, where the _vetus ara Druso sita_ is certainly to be referred to the place where he died); we may be allowed to seek it in the region of the Weser. The dead body was then conveyed to the winter-camp (Dio, lv. 2) and there burnt; this spot was regarded, according to Roman usage, also as the place of burial, although the depositing of the ashes took place in Rome, and to this is to be referred the _honorarius tumulus_ with the annual obsequies (Sueton. _l.c._). Probably we have to seek for this place at Vetera. When a later author (Eutropius, vii. 13) speaks of the _monumentum_ of Drusus at Mentz, this is doubtless not the tomb, but the elsewhere mentioned Tropaeum (Florus, ii. 30: _Marcomanorum spoliis et insignibus quendam editum tumulum in tropaei modum excoluit_).] [9: What we learn from Dio, lv. 10, partly confirmed by Tacitus, _Ann._ iv. 44, cannot be apprehended otherwise. Noricum and Raetia must have been put under this governor as an exceptional measure, or the course of operations induced him to pass beyond the limit of his governorship. The assumption that he marched through Bohemia itself, which would involve still greater difficulties, is not required by the narrative.] [10: To a connection in rear of the camp on the Rhine with the port Boulogne we might perhaps take the much disputed notice of Florus, ii. 30, to refer: _Bonnam_ (or _Bormam_) _et Gessoriacum pontibus iunxit classibusque firmavit_, with which is to be compared the mention by the same author of forts on the Maas. Bonn may reasonably have been at that time the station of the Rhine-fleet; Boulogne was in later times still a fleet-station. Drusus might well have occasion to make the shortest and safest land-route between the two stations for the fleet available for transport, though the writer, probably bent on striking effect, awakens by his pointed mode of expression conceptions which cannot be in that form correct.]
