For Latin Prose. Sedition was spreading among the tribes of that region, when Camillus advanced with his forces to repress it by a sudden blow. The defence of the peaceful province had been entrusted to one legion with a few bands of the allies and this little army was enough to overcome all resistance in the field. Tacfarinas, relying on the arts which he had learnt from his late masters, ventured to give battle, and suffered a speedy defeat. The proconsul claimed the honours of a conqueror: and Tiberius, it was believed, was more willing to grant them on account of the obscurity of his name, which had shone with no splendour since the old days of the Gallic invasion. Camillus himself had had no experience in arms: nor was he now elated by success, or tempted to think himself a mighty general. He was not indeed aware how short his triumph would be. II.
