Histories 1.6

Hist. 1.6.1Invalidum senem Titus Vīnius et Cornēlius Lacō, alter dēterrimus mortālium, alter ignāvissimus, odiō flāgitiōrum onerātum contemptū inertiae dēstruēbant.Titus Vinius and Cornelius Laco, the one the worst of mortals, the other the most slothful, were ruining the feeble old man, loading him with the hatred their crimes aroused and with the contempt their sloth aroused. Hist. 1.6.1Tardum Galbae iter et cruentum, interfectīs Cingōniō Varrōne cōnsule dēsignātō et Petrōniō Turpiliānō cōnsulārī: ille ut Nymphidiī socius, hic ut dux Nerōnis, inaudītī atque indēfēnsī tamquam innocentēs perierant.Galba's march was slow and bloody, Cingonius Varro, consul-elect, and Petronius Turpilianus, an ex-consul, having been put to death: the former as an associate of Nymphidius, the latter as Nero's general, they had perished unheard and undefended, and so like innocent men. Hist. 1.6.1Introitus in urbem trucīdātīs tot mīlibus inermium mīlitum īnfaustus ōmine atque ipsīs etiam quī occīderant formīdolōsus.His entry into the city, with so many thousands of unarmed soldiers butchered, was ill-omened, and alarming even to those who had done the killing. Hist. 1.6.1Inductā legiōne Hispānā, remanente eā quam ē classe Nerō cōnscrīpserat, plēna urbs exercitū īnsolitō;With a Spanish legion brought in, and the one Nero had enrolled from the fleet remaining, the city was full of an unaccustomed army; Hist. 1.6.1multī ad hoc numerī ē Germāniā ac Britanniā et Illyricō, quōs īdem Nerō ēlēctōs praemissōsque ad claustra Caspiārum et bellum, quod in Albānōs parābat, opprimendīs Vindicis coeptīs revocāverat: ingēns novīs rēbus māteria, ut nōn in ūnum aliquem prōnō favōre ita audentī parāta.there were also many detachments from Germany, Britain and Illyricum, which the same Nero had picked and sent ahead to the Caspian Gates and the war he was preparing against the Albani, and had then recalled to crush Vindex's uprising: vast material for revolution, not inclined in favour of any one man, but ready for whoever dared.
