Hist. 1.31.1Dīlāpsīs speculātōribus cētera cohors nōn aspernāta cōntiōnantem, ut turbidīs rēbus ēvēnit, forte magis et nūllō adhūc cōnsiliō rapit signa quam, quod posteā crēditum est, īnsidiīs et simulātiōne.The bodyguards having slipped away, the rest of the cohort, not spurning the speaker, seize their standards, as happens in confusion, by chance rather and with no plan as yet, than, as was later believed, through treachery and pretence. Hist. 1.31.1Missus et Celsus Marius ad ēlēctōs Illyricī exercitūs, Vipsāniā in porticū tendentīs;Marius Celsus too was sent to the picked men of the Illyrian army, who were encamped in the Portico of Vipsania; Hist. 1.31.1praeceptum Amulliō Serēnō et Domitiō Sabīnō prīmipīlāribus, ut Germānicōs mīlitēs ē Lībertātis ātriō accerserent.orders were given to Amullius Serenus and Domitius Sabinus, senior centurions, to fetch the German soldiers from the Hall of Liberty. Hist. 1.31.1Legiōnī classicae diffīdēbātur, īnfestae ob caedem commīlitōnum, quōs prīmō statim introitū trucīdāverat Galba.The marine legion was distrusted, being hostile because of the slaughter of their comrades, whom Galba had butchered immediately upon his first entry. Hist. 1.31.1Pergunt etiam in castra praetōriānōrum tribūnī Cetrius Sevērus, Subrius Dexter, Pompeius Longīnus, sī incipiēns adhūc et necdum adulta sēditiō meliōribus cōnsiliīs flecterētur.The tribunes Cetrius Severus, Subrius Dexter and Pompeius Longinus even go to the praetorian camp, in case the mutiny, still beginning and not yet full-grown, might be turned by better counsel.
Hist. 1.31.1Tribūnōrum Subrium et Cetrium adortī mīlitēs minīs, Longīnum manibus coercent exarmantque, quia nōn ōrdine mīlitiae, sed ē Galbae amīcīs, fīdus prīncipī suō et dēscīscentibus suspectior erat.Of the tribunes, Subrius and Cetrius the soldiers set upon with threats, Longinus they restrain by force and disarm, because he owed his place not to his military rank but to being one of Galba's friends, and being loyal to his emperor was all the more suspect to the rebels. Hist. 1.31.1Legiō classica nihil cūnctāta praetōriānīs adiungitur;The marine legion, without hesitation, joins the praetorians; Hist. 1.31.1Illyricī exercitūs ēlēctī Celsum īnfestīs pīlīs prōturbant.the picked men of the Illyrian army drive Celsus off with levelled javelins. Hist. 1.31.1Germānica vēxilla diū nūtāvēre, invalidīs adhūc corporibus et plācātīs animīs, quod eōs ā Nerōne Alexandrīam praemissōs atque inde rūrsus longā nāvigātiōne aegrōs impēnsiōre cūrā Galba refovēbat.The German detachments wavered for a long time, their bodies still weak and their minds conciliated, because, after Nero had sent them ahead to Alexandria and they had come back from there sick after a long voyage, Galba was nursing them with particularly generous care.
