Hist. 1.90.1Sēpositus per eōs diēs Cornēlius Dolābella in colōniam Aquīnātem, neque artā custōdiā neque obscūrā, nūllum ob crīmen, sed vetustō nōmine et propinquitāte Galbae mōnstrātus.In those days Cornelius Dolabella was banished to the colony of Aquinum, under a custody neither strict nor concealed, not for any crime, but marked out by his ancient name and his kinship with Galba. Hist. 1.90.1Multōs ē magistrātibus, magnam cōnsulārium partem Othō nōn participēs aut ministrōs bellō, sed comitum speciē sēcum expedīre iubet, in quīs et Lūcium Vitellium, eōdem quō cēterōs cultū, nec ut imperātōris frātrem nec ut hostis.Otho orders many of the magistrates and a large part of the ex-consuls to make ready to go with him, not as partners or helpers in the war, but in the guise of a retinue; among them was Lucius Vitellius too, treated in the same way as the rest, neither as an emperor's brother nor as an enemy's. Hist. 1.90.1Igitur mōtae urbis cūrae;So the city's anxieties were stirred; Hist. 1.90.1nūllus ōrdō metū aut perīculō vacuus.no rank was free from fear or danger. Hist. 1.90.1Prīmōrēs senātūs aetāte invalidī et longā pāce dēsidēs, segnis et oblīta bellōrum nōbilitās, ignārus mīlitiae eques, quantō magis occultāre et abdere pavōrem nītēbantur, manifestius pavidī.The leading senators, weak with age and made idle by the long peace, a nobility sluggish and forgetful of wars, knights ignorant of military service: the more they strove to conceal and hide their fear, the more plainly afraid they were.
Hist. 1.90.1Nec dēerant ē contrāriō quī ambitiōne stolidā cōnspicua arma, īnsignīs equōs, quīdam luxuriōsōs apparātūs convīviōrum et inrītāmenta libīdinum ut īnstrūmentum bellī mercārentur.Nor, on the other hand, was there any lack of those who in foolish vanity bought showy arms, fine horses, and some even luxurious banquet furnishings and incitements to lust, as if they were equipment for war. Hist. 1.90.1Sapientibus quiētis et reī pūblicae cūra;The wise cared for quiet and for the state; Hist. 1.90.1levissimus quisque et futūrī imprōvidus spē vānā tumēns;all the most frivolous, heedless of the future, were swollen with empty hope; Hist. 1.90.1multī adflīctā fidē in pāce ānxiī, turbātīs rēbus alacrēs et per incerta tūtissimī.many, whose credit had been ruined, were anxious in peace, but eager when affairs were in turmoil and safest amid uncertainty.
