OXFORD EXAMINATION PAPERS.

RESPONSIONS.

I.

For Latin Prose.

Scarcely had the Romans evacuated the territory of the Caledonians, when information was brought to Severus, that the Barbarians had recommenced hostilities. His infirmities had been so much increased by the fatigue of the late campaign, that he was no longer able to join the army. He therefore gave the command to Caracalla, with an injunction to extirpate the whole race without mercy. But that prince had a far different object in view, namely, the exclusion of his brother from the succession to the throne. Instead of marching against the Britons, he endeavoured to gain the affections of the troops, by indulgences and presents: and as soon as his father had breathed his last, he renewed the peace, disbanded the army, and returned to Rome.
