six hundred seventy eight M. Licinius Lucullus govern'd the Province of Macedonia the Cousin of that Lucullus who managed the War against Mithridates In Italy on a sudden arose a new War for seventy four Gladiators under the command of Spartacus Chrysus and Oenomaus having broken out of their fencing School at Capua fled away and wandering through Italy commenc'd as great a War as Hannibal did for overcoming many of the Roman Captains and two of their Consuls they gathered together an Army of almost sixty thousand Men at last they were conquered by M. Licinius Crassus the Proconsul in Apulia and after many calamities in Italy the War was ended the third year by him In the year of the City six hundred and eighty in the Consulship of P. Cornelius Lentulus and Cnaeus Aufidius Orestes onely the Mithridatick and Macedonian Wars disturb'd the Roman Empire Lucius Lucullus and M. Lucullus managed them For L. Lucullus after his Victory over Mithridates at Cyzicus and his Captains in a Sea fight pursued him and having recovered Paphlagonia and Bithynia he marched into his Kingdom and took Sinope and Amisus two famous Cities in Pontus The second Battel was fought at the City Cabira where Mithridates had gathered together great Forces from all his Countries thereabouts when five thousand Romans putting to flight Mithridates with thirty thousand of his best Soldiers plunder'd his Camp Lucullus also subdu'd Armenia the less which Mithridates governed But he was received after his flight by Tigranes King of the greater Armenia who then reigned with great Fame and oftentimes beating the Persians had seiz'd upon Mesopotamia Syria and part of Phaenicia but Lucullus demanding Mithridates that fled entred Armenia Tigranes his Kingdom took there the famous City Tigranocerta and with eighteen thousand so overthrew Tigranes coming against him with six hundred thousand Cuirassiers one hundred thousand Archers and armed Men that he cut off a great part of his Armenians From thence he marched to the City Nisibis which he took with the King's Brother But those whom Lucullus had left in Pontus with part of the Army to defend the Romans with their conquest in the adjacent Countries behaving themselves carelesly and covetously gave an opportunity to Mithridates of breaking into Pontus and so the War was renewed and one sent to succeed Lucullus having taken Nisibis and preparing the War against the Persians the other Lucullus who governed Macedonia was the first of all the Romans that waged War against the Bessi and overcame them in a great Battel on the Mountain Aemus and having taken the City Vscudama which the Bessi inhabited in one Day and Cibyle he marched Conquerer even to the Danube From thence he went against many Cities bordering on Pontus where he sacked Apollonia and took Calaâ—â—s Parthenopolis Tomi Histrum and all Buzia After the War was ended he returned to Rome and both of them triumph'd but Lucullus who managed the War against Mithridates triumphed with greater glory being Conquerour of so considerable Kingdoms The Macedonian War being ended and by reason of Lucullus his return to Rome the Mithridatic War continuing which Mithridates with new Forces prosecuted there arose a War in Crete Caecilius Metellus was sent thither and in three year having subdued all the Provinces and being stil'd Creticus he triumphed from the conquest of that Island About the same time Libya was added to the Roman Empire by a grant in King Apion's will in which Province there were these famous Cities Berenice Ptolemais and Cyrene Whilst these things were perform'd the Pirats so infested the Seas that the Romans though the Conquerers of all the World could not safely sail Wherefore this War was Decreed to be managed by Cnaeus Pompeius who with great fortune and celerity ended it in few months Afterwards the War against Mithridates and Tigranes was committed to him which having undertook he overcame Mithridates in Armenia the less in a Battel by Night and plunder'd his Camp cutting off forty thousand of the Enemy with the loss onely of twenty of his Soldiers and two Centurions Mithridates fled with his Wife and two Attendants Afterwards when he tyranniz'd over his people in a mutiny of his Soldiers raised by his own Son Pharnaces he was forc'd to poison himself Thus Mithridates died at Bosphorus a Man of great industry and conduct he lived seventy reigned sixty and made War with the Romans forty years Then Pompey made War against Tigranes who surrender'd himself and coming to him in his Camp sixteen miles from Artaxata fell at his feet and delivered up his Crown which Pompey restored again and received him honourably but took away Syria Phaenicia Sophone besides fining him in six thousand Talents of Silver to be paid to the Romans for raising War against them without a cause Afterwards Pompey brought War on the Albani and thrice overcame Orodes their King who at last obtain'd a Peace by his Letters and Presents to Pompey He also overcame in a Battel Anthaces the King of Iberia who submitted to him He gave Armenia the less to Dejotarus the King of Galatia for assisting him in the Mithridatic War And restoring Paphlagonia to Attalus and Pylemenes he made Aristarchus the King of the Colchi Then he subdued the Ituraei and the Arabians and coming into Syria made Seleucia near Antioch a free City because it had not aided King Tigranes He restor'd the people of Antioch their Hostages and added some grounds to the Daphnenses to enlarge their Groves being delighted with the pleasantness of the place and its many Springs From thence he marched into Judaea and in the third month took Jerusalem the chief City and having slain twelve thousand Jews he receiv'd the rest into his protection Having performed these things he returned into Asia and so ended this long War In the Consulship of Marcus Tullius Cicero the Orator and C. Antonius in the year of the City six hundred eighty nine Lucius Sergius Catilina a Man of high birth but of a very vitious Disposition plotted with some audacious Noble Men against his Country but he was driven out of the City by Cicero and his Associates upon apprehension strangled in Prison Catiline also overcome in a Battel was slain by Antonius the other Consul In the year of the City six hundred and ninety in the Consulship of D. Junius Silanus and L. Murena Metellus triumphed for conquering Crete and Pompey for the Piratic and Mithridatic Wars no pomp of a Triumph was ever like to Pompey's for Mithridates his and Tigranes's Sons also Aristobulus the King of the Jews with a great Sum of Money were carried before his Chariot At that time there was no considerable War in all the World with the Romans In the year of the City six hundred ninety three Caius Julius Caesar who was afterwards Emperour and L. Bibulus were made Consuls Caesar having obtain'd by Order of Senate the Government of Gaul and Illyricum with ten Legions first overcame the Helvetii who are now
from Athens and took the City afterwards a Battel being fought with Archelaus he so overthrew him that out of his hundred and twenty thousand there scarce remain'd ten and of Sylla's Army onely fourteen were slain Mithridates upon the news of this Battel recruited Archelaus with eighty thousand chosen Men out of Asia with whom Sylla fought again In the first Battel twenty thousand of the Enemy were slain with Diogenes the Son of Archelaus In the second all the Forces of Mithridates were cut off Archelaus himself three days lying hid in the Marshes Mithridates upon hearing of this began to treat with Sylla At that time also Sylla overcame the greatest part of the Dardani Scordisci Dalmatians and Moesians and received the rest into his protection When Embassadours came from King Mithridates desiring a Peace Sylla answered that he would not grant it unless the King deserting those places which he was possessed of returned into his own Kingdom Yet afterwards in a personal Treaty Peace was made between them That Sylla hasting to the civil War might be in no danger in his absence For whilst Sylla overcame Mithridates in Achaia and Asia Marius who was fled and Cornelius Cinna one of the Consuls renewed the War in Italy and having entred the City Rome slew the most Noble and consular Men of the Senate and proscribed many having pulled down the House of Sylla they compelled his Sons and Wife to secure themselves by flight every one of the Senate that remain'd flying out of the City came to Sylla in Greece intreating him that he would succour his native Country He passed over into Italy to fight against Norbanus and Scipio the Consuls he fought the first Battel against Norbanus not far from Capua where he slew seven thousand of the Enemy and took six thousand with the loss of one hundred twenty four of his own Then he marched against Scipio but before the Battel Scipio surrendred his Army without bloodshed But upon the new Election of Consuls at Rome Marius the Son of Marius and Papirius Carbo being chose Sylla fought Marius the younger and fifteen thousand of the Enemy being slain lost four hundred Men. Afterwards entring the City and pursuing Marius the younger to Praeneste he besieged him there and forced him to kill himself Then he had a fierce Battel with Lamponius and Carinates Captains of Marius's Party at the Gate Collina Eighty thousand Men were reported to have been in the Army against Sylla twelve thousand yielded themselves the rest were either slain in Battel in the Camp or in flight so unsatiable was the revenge of the Conquerors Cnaeus Carbo the other Consul fled from Ariminum into Sicily and there was slain by Cnaeus Pompeius whom but a young Man twenty one years of age Sylla upon the observation of his industry had made Commander of his Armies with the esteem of being next to himself Upon the death of Carbo Pompey recovered Sicily and passing into Africa slew Domitius one of Marius's Faction and Hiarbas King of Mauritania who aided Domitius After these things Sylla triumphed for conquering Mithridates with great Glory And Cnaeus Pompeius in the twenty fourth year of his age which never had been granted to any of the Romans triumphed for his Victory in Africa Thus these two cruel Wars ended the Italian which is called the Social and the Civil War both which carried on for the space of ten years destroyed above a hundred and fifty thousand twenty four Consular Men eight Praetors sixty Aediles and almost three hundred Senators The Sixth Book OF EVTROPIVS The Wars with Sertorius with the Gladiators and the Pirats the end of the Mithridatic The conquest of Crete and of Tigranes King of Armenia The Catilinarian Conspiracy the death of Crassus in Parthia the Wars in Gaul by Julius Caesar with the civil War between him and Pompey From V. C. 675 to 710. By Mr. Leonard Powel IN the Consulship of Marcus Aemilius and Quintus Catulus when Sylla had setled the Commonwealth new Wars arose one in Spain another in Pamphylia and Cilicia the third in Macedonia the fourth in Dalmatia For Sertorius who was of Marius's Party against Sylla fearing the fate of those who were slain stirr'd up the Spaniards to the War Quintus Caecilius Metellus his Son who overcame King Jugurtha and Lucius Domitius the Praetor were sent Generals against him Domitius was slain by Hirtulejus one of Sertorius's Captains But Metellus fought Sertorius with various success Afterwards when he was thought unfit by himself to manage the War Cnaeus Pompeius was sent into Spain Sertorius fought with variety of fortune against these two Generals till at last killed in the eighth year of the War by his own Soldiers Thus the War was ended by Cnaeus Pompeius a young Man and Quintus Metellus Pius and almost all Spain subdu'd by the Romans Appius Claudius after his Consulship being sent into Macedonia Skirmish'd with several people of the Province Rhodopa and there falling sick died Cnaeus Scribonius after the expiration of his Consulship was sent to succeed him he overcoming the Dardani marched a Conqueror even to the Danube and obtain'd a Triumph having ended the War in three years Publius Servilius a valiant Man was sent Proconsul into Cilicia and Pamphylia After the Conquest of Cilicia he besieged and took the best Cities of Lycia amongst these he took Phaselis Olympus with Corycus of Cilicia then going against the Isauri and they submitting he ended the War in three years The first of all the Romans that marched to the Mountain Taurus returning home he received a Triumph according to his merits and had the name of Isauricus Cnaeus Cosconius being Proconsul was sent into Illyricum he subdued the greatest part of Dalmatia took Salonae and ending the War returned to Rome in three year At the same time Marcus Aemilius Lepidus Catulus's fellow Consul would have raised a civil War but his insurrection was suppress'd in one Summer Then many received their triumphs together Metellus and Pompey from Spain Curio from Macedonia and Servilius from Isauria In the year of the City six hundred seventy six in the Consulship of L. Licinius Lucullus and Marcus Aurelius Cotta Nicomedes King of Bithynia died and made the Romans his Heir Mithridates having broken the Peace would have again invaded Asia and Bithynia Both the Consuls sent against him had various success for Cotta was overcome by Mithridates in a Battel at Chalcedon and being driven into the City was besieged there But when Mithridates marched from thence to Cyzicus that taking it he might invade all Asia Lucullus the other Consul encountred him and whilst Mithridates was busie in the Siege of Cyzicus he blocked him up in the Rear and overcame him in many Battels At last driving him to Byzantium now call'd Constantinople Lucullus also overcame his Captains in a Sea-fight Thus in one Summer and Winter Lucullus destroy'd almost an hundred thousand of Mithridates Soldiers In the year of the City
these two Consuls being Conquerors were slain upon which the three Armies obeyed Caesar Antony being put to slight having lost his Army went for succor to Lepidus who was General to Caesar's Horse and then commanded great Forces by whom he was received and soon after Lepidus endeavouring it Caesar made peace with Antony and as if he would vindicate the death of his Father by whom he was adopted in his Will he marched to Rome with his Army and by force procured the Consulship in the twentieth year of his age Having proscribed the Senate he began with Antony and Lepidus to govern the Commonwealth by an Army Cicero the Orator was kill'd by them with many other Noblemen In the mean while Brutus and Cassius the murtherers of Caesar rais'd a great War for there were many Armies in Macedonia and the East which they seiz'd upon wherefore Caesar Octavianus Augustus and Mark Antony went against them Lepidus staid behind to defend Italy they fought against 'em at Philippi a City of Macedonia Caesar and Antony were overcome in the first Battel but the most noble Cassius was slain In the second Brutus and very many Noblemen of his side were slain and then the Commonwealth was thus divided amongst them That Augustus should govern Spain France and Italy Antony Asia Pontus and the East But Lucius Antonius the Consul raised a Civil War in Italy his Brother who had fought with Caesar against Brutus and Cassius he was overcome and taken at Perusium a City of Tuscia but his life spar'd In the mean time Sextus Pompeius the Son of Cn. Pompeius made a War in Sicily those of Brutus and Cassius's party who remain'd joyning with him yet after a War brought upon him by Caesar Augustus and M. Antony at last a Peace was ratified At that time M. Agrippa acted prosperously in Aquitania and L. Ventidius Bassus overcame the Persians making incursions into Syria in three Battels He kill'd Pacorus the Son of King Orodes the same day that heretofore Orodes King of the Persians had kill'd Crassus by Surena his General He first triumph'd truly over the Persians at Rome In the mean time Pompey broke the Peace and being beat in a Sea-fight fled to Asia and was there slain Antony who govern'd Asia and the East being divorced from Augustus's Sister married Cleopatra the Queen of Egypt He also in person fought against the Persians and overcame them in the first Battel but in his return he suffered much by Famine and Pestilence and the Parthians falling upon him in his flight he lost his Victory He also raised a great Civil War by the instigation of his Wife Cleopatra the Queen of Egypt whilst she through a womans ambition long'd to rule at Rome He was overcome by Augustus in a famous Sea-fight at Actium in Epirus from whence he fled to Egypt and in despair when all his Soldiers had revolted to Augustus he killed himself Cleopatra died with the poison of Asps which she had put to her Breasts Octavianus Augustus added Aegypt to the Roman Empire and Cn. Cornelius Gallus was the first that governed it Thus having finished all his Wars every where Augustus in the twelfth year after he had been made Consul returned to Rome From that time he governed the Commonwealth alone for four and forty years having rul'd it twelve years before with Lepidus and Antony and so from the beginning to the end his Reign lasted six and fifty years He died a natural death in the seventy sixth year of his age in Atella a City of Campania He was buried in the Campus Martius at Rome a man not undeservedly for the most part reckon'd a God Nor was any one more happy than him in his Wars or more moderate in Peace He lived with the greatest civility all the four and forty years he ruled alone being most liberal towards all men and very faithful to his friends who he had advanced to so great honors that they were almost equal to himself The Roman affairs never flourished more before his time for besides the Civil Wars in which he was always conqueror he added Aegypt to the Roman Empire with Cantabria and Dalmatia oftentimes overcome before but entirely subdued by him also Pannonia Aquitania Illyricum Rhaetia the Vindelici and the Salassi living upon the Alps with all the Maritime Cities of Pontus and amongst these the famous Cities Bosphorus and Panticapaeon He overcame the Daci in several Battels He cut off the great Forces of the Germans and drove them beyond the River Allis which is up the Country far from the Rhine but this War was managed by his Son-in-law Drusus as the Pannonian War was by his other Son-in-law Tiberius in which War he brought four hundred thousand Captives out of Germany and planted 'em upon the Banks of the Rhine in Gaul He retook Armenia from the Parthians and the Persians gave Hostages to him which they never did before to any other Also they restored the Roman Ensigns which were taken away from Crassus when he was beaten The Scythians and the Indians sent presents and Embassadors to him who before had never heard of the Roman name Galatia in his time was made a Province being before a Kingdom and M. Lollius the Propraetor was the first that governed it The barbarous Nations so loved him that Kings who were Allies of the Roman People built Cities to his honor which they would call Caesarea as that built by King Juba in Mauritania and that in Palestine which now is a very famous City Many Kings left their Kingdoms to do him service and being dressed in a Roman Habit ran by him in his Chariot or on Horseback and dying he was stiled a God He left the Commonwealth to Tiberius in a most flourishing condition who being his Wives Son was afterwards his Son-in-law by the marriage of his Daughter and at last his Son by adoption Tiberius governed very lazily with great cruelty wicked avarice and filthy lust He never fought in person but carried on his Wars by his Lieutenants Some Kings whom he had enticed to him by his flatteries he never let return to their own Country amongst whom Archelaus King of Cappadocia whose Kingdom also he made a Province and commanded the chief City to be called after his name which now is called Caesarea and before Mazaca He reigned three and twenty years and died in Campania in the eighty third year of his age to the great joy of all men After him rul'd Caius Caesar surnamed Caligula Drusus the Son-in-law of Augustus was his Grandfather and Tiberius his great Uncle he was very wicked and horrible one who might excuse the Vices of Tiberius He undertook a War against the Germans and entering into Suevia performed no valiant action He committed Incest with his Sisters and had a Daughter by one of 'em when he had been outragious towards all men in Cruelty Avarice and Lust he was kill'd in his Palace in the nine and thirtieth year of
force He overcame the Caeninenses the Antemnates the Crustumii the Sabins the Fidenates and the Vejentes in the War raised against him for the injury offered to their Women All these Cities lay about Rome And when upon a sudden Tempest at an Assembly he was never seen after in the thirty seventh year of his Reign he is consecrated being believed to have gone to the Gods Then the Government of Rome was in the power of Senators for the space of five days by turns which Authority lasted one year Afterwards Numa Pompilius was made King who waged no War yet he was no less serviceable to Rome than Romulus for he founded the Laws and Customs of the Romans who were now thought half Barbarians and Robbers from their continual Wars He divided the year into ten Months which before was confused without any account he constituted very many holy Rites and built many Temples at Rome and died in the forty third year of his Reign Tullus Hostilius succeeded him he renewed the War and overcame the Albani who dwelt twelve miles from Rome He subdued the Vejentes and the Fidenates some of these were six miles from Rome others eighteen He enlarged the City having added the Hill Caelius When he had reigned thirty two years he was killed by Thunder and his House burnt up with Lightning Ancus Marcius Reigned after him he was the Grandchild of Numa by his Daughter he warred against the Latins and joyned the Aventine Hill and the Hill Janiculus to the City built Ostia a Sea-Town sixteen miles from Rome He died a natural death in the twenty fourth year of his Reign Then Priscus Tarquinius was made King He doubled the number of the Senators and built the Circus Maximus at Rome He first instituted the Roman Sports which are continued to our time He also overcame the Sabins and having conquered much of their Country joyned it to the Roman Territory and first of all entred the City in Triumph he built the Walls and the Common Sewers he began the Capitol and was killed by the Sons of Ancus whom he succeeded in the thirty eighth year of his Reign Servius Tullius succeeded him born of a Noble Woman being a Captive and a Handmaid He also overcame the Sabins and added the three Hills Quirinalis Viminalis and Esquilinus to Rome He digged Ditches about the City And first of all numbered and taxed the people which thing was unknown throughout the whole World Upon the Assessment there were found eighty four thousand Roman Citizens with those who lived in the Country He was murthered in the forty fifth year of his Reign by the treachery of his Son-in-law Tarquinius the Son of Priscus his Predecessor and his Daughter Tullia whom Tarquinius had married Lucius Tarquinius Superbus was the Seventh and last of the Roman Kings He overcame the Volsci which people dwelt not far from Rome as we go to Campania he took the City Gabii and Suessa Pometia and made peace with the Thusci and built the Temple of Jupiter in the Capitol Afterwards besieging Ardea a City situated eighteen miles from Rome he lost his Kingdom For when his Son Tarquinius the younger ravished Lucretia a Woman of great quality and the most chast Wife of Collatinus and she complaining of the injury to her Husband her Father and her Friends killed her self in the sight of them all For which reason Brutus her Father and her Husband Tarquinius Collatinus stirred up the people and depos'd Tarquinius Soon after the Army which besieged Ardea with Tarquinius deserted him and he returning to Rome was shut out When he had reigned five and twenty years he fled away with his Wife and Children Thus Rome was governed by seven Kings for the space of two hundred forty three years the Romans hitherto scarcely possessing fifteen miles about their City For this reason two Consuls were chosen for one King that if one had ill Designs the other having equal Power might restrain him And 't was enacted by the Roman people that they should rule no longer than one year lest they should grow proud by a long continuance of their Power but be always courteous knowing they were to be private Men within one year Therefore Lucius Junius Brutus who had been very industrious in expelling King Tarquin and Tarquinius Collatinus the Husband of Lucretia were Consuls the first year But the Consulship was taken away soon from Tarquinius Collatinus for the Romans were not willing that any should remain in the City who was called Tarquinius therefore having gathered together his Estate he departed from Roome Valerius Publicola was made Consul in his stead But King Tarquinius Superbus who was driven out waged War against Rome and by the assistance of several people fought with them that he might be restored to his Kingdom Brutus the Consul and Aruns the Son of Tarquinius kill'd one another in the first Battel yet the Romans came off Conquerors The Roman Matrons mourned one year for Brutus as the Defender of their Chastity and their common Father Valerius Publicola took Spurius Lucretius Tricipitinus for his Collegue who was the Father of Lucretia upon whose Death he took Horatius Pulvillus into his place so that there were five Consuls in this first year Tarquinius Collatinus went out of the City by reason of his name Brutus was kill'd in the Battel Sp. Lucretius died a natural Death Tarquinius again made War against Rome the second year that he might be restored Porsena the King of Thuscia assisting him and almost took it but was overcome at last In the third year after the banishing of th◠King Tarquinius when he could 〈◊〉 be received into his Kingdom nor would Porsena who had made peace with the Romans aid him retir'd to Tusculum which City is not far from Rome and there lived a private life with his Wife fourteen years In the fourth year after the Kings were driven from Rome the Sabins waging War against the Romans were overcome upon which there was a Triumph In the fifth year Lucius Valerius the Collegue of Brutus and now the fourth time Consul died he was so poor that he was buried at the expence of the publick for whom the Matrons mourned one year as for Brutus In the ninth year after the banishing of the Tarquins when the Son-in-law of King Tarquinius had gathered together a great Army to revenge the injuries done to his Father-in-law the Romans created a new Authority which was called the Dictatorship being greater than the Consulship In the same year also the General of the Horse who was subordinate to the Dictator was made Nor doth Roman Story relate any thing more like the present Government of the Empire which Your Majesty now enjoys than the ancient Dictatorship chiefly when Caius Caesar and after him Augustus otherwise called Octavianus reigned with the name and honour of Dictactor of whom I shall speak hereafter But Largius was the first Roman Dictator and Spurius Cassius the first General
