[14: This and not more is what Velleius says (ii. 110): _in omnibus Pannoniis non disciplinae_ (= military training) _tantummodo, sed linguae quoque notitia Romanae, plerisque etiam litterarum usus et familiaris animorum erat exercitatio_. These are the same phenomena as are met with in the case of the Cheruscan princes, only in increased measure; and they are quite intelligible when we bear in mind the Pannonian and Breucian _alae_ and _cohortes_ raised by Augustus.] [15: If we assume that of the twelve legions who were on the march against Maroboduus (Tacitus, _Ann._ ii. 46), as many as we find soon after in Germany, that is, five, went to form the army there, the Illyrian army of Tiberius numbered seven, and the number of ten (Velleius, ii. 113) may fairly be referred to the contingents from Moesia and Italy, that of fifteen to the contingents from Egypt or Syria, and to the further levies in Italy, whence the newly raised legions went no doubt to Germany, but those thereby relieved went to the army of Tiberius. Velleius (ii. 112) speaks inaccurately, at the very beginning of the war, of five legions brought up by A. Caecina and Plautius Silvanus _ex transmarinis provinciis_; firstly, the transmarine troops could not be at once on the spot, and secondly, the legions of Caecina were of course the Moesian.

Ancyr._ 2d ed. p. 71.] [16: Velleius (ii. 118) says so; _adsiduus militiae nostrae prioris comes, iure etiam civitatis Romanae eius equestres consequens gradus_; which coincides with the _ductor popularium_ of Tacitus, _Ann._ ii. 10. Such officers must have been of no infrequent occurrence at this time; thus, there fought in the third campaign of Drusus _inter primores Chumstinctus et Avectius tribuni ex civitate Nerviorum_ (Liv. _Ep._ 141), and under Germanicus Chariovalda _dux Batavorum_ (Tac. _Ann._ ii. 11).] [17: The effigy of Varus is shown on a copper coin of the African town Achulla, struck under his proconsulate of Africa in the year 747-8, B.C. 7-6 (L. Müller, _Num. de l'ancienne Afrique_, ii. p. 44, comp. p. 52). The base which once supported the statue erected to him by the town of Pergamus has again been brought to light by the excavations there; the subscription runs: ὁ δῆμος [ἐτίμησεν] Πόπλιον Κοινκτίλιον Σέξτου υἱὸν Οὐάρ[ον] πάσης ἀρετῆ[ς ἕνεκα].]
