"Till at the soldier's foot her treasures lay, Who knew not half the riches of his prey." Hodgson. [737] _Phaleris_: xvi., 60. Florus says Phaleræ were introduced from Etruria together with curule chairs, trabeæ, prætextæ, etc. Vid. Liv., xxxix., 31. Plin., vii., 28, 9, says Siccius Dentatus had 25 phaleræ and 83 torques. Sil., xv., 254. Cf. Virg., Æn., ix., 359. Suet., Aug., 25; Ner., 33. [738] _Venientis._ Supposed to be a representation of Mars hovering in the air, and just about to alight by the sleeping Rhea Sylvia. The god is _armed_, because the conventional manner of representing him was by the distinction of his "framea" and "clypeus." See Addison's note in Gifford. [739] _In armis._ "Then all their wealth was on their armor spent, And war engross'd the pride of ornament." Hodgson. [740] _Lividulus._ "Yet justly worth your envy, were your breast But with one spark of noble spleen possess'd." Gifford. [741] _Præsentior._ Cf. iii., 18, "Quanto _præsentius_ esset Numen aquæ." Virg., Ec., i., 42, "Nec tam præsentes alibi cognoscere Divos." Georg., i., 10, "Præsentia Numina Fauni." Hor., iii., Od. v., 2, "Præsens Divus habebitur Augustus." [742] _Vox._ "M. Cædicius de plebe nunciavit tribunis, se in Novâ Viâ, ubi nunc sacellum est, suprà sedem Vestæ vocem noctis silentio audîsse clariorem humanâ quæ magistratibus dici juberet 'Gallos adventare.'" "Invisitato atque inaudito hoste ab oceano terrarumque ultimis oris bellum ciente." Liv., v., 32, 3, 7, 50. Cic., de Div., ii., "At paullo post audita _vox est monentis_ ut providerent ne a Gallis Roma caperetur: ex eo Aio loquenti aram in novâ viâ consecratam." Cf. Plut. in Vit. Camill. [743] _Fictilis._ Cf. Sen., Ep. 31, "Cogita illos quum propitii essent fictiles fuisse."
