Hist. 2.105.1Caecīna ē complexū Vitelliī multō cum honōre dīgressus partem equitum ad occupandam Cremōnam praemīsit.Caecina, having left Vitellius' embrace with great honour, sent part of the cavalry ahead to seize Cremona. Hist. 2.105.1Mox vēxilla prīmae, quartae, quīntaedecimae, sextaedecimae legiōnum, Dein quīnta et duoetvīcēnsima secūtae;Soon the detachments of the First, Fourth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth legions followed, then the Fifth and the Twenty-second; Hist. 2.105.1postrēmō agmine ūnaetvīcēnsima Rapāx et prīma Italica incessēre cum vēxillāriīs trium Britannicārum legiōnum et ēlēctīs auxiliīs.at the rear of the column marched the Twenty-first Rapax and the First Italica, with the detachments of the three British legions and picked auxiliaries. Hist. 2.105.1Profectō Caecīnā scrīpsit Fabius Valēns exercituī, quem ipse ductāverat, ut in itinere opperīrētur: sīc sibi cum Caecīnā convēnisse.When Caecina had set out, Fabius Valens wrote to the army which he had himself commanded, telling it to wait for him on the march: so, he said, he had agreed with Caecina. Hist. 2.105.1Quī praesēns eōque validior mūtātum id cōnsilium finxit ut ingruentī bellō tōtā mōle occurrerētur.Caecina, being on the spot and therefore the stronger, pretended that this plan had been changed, so that the oncoming war might be met with their whole mass.
Hist. 2.105.1Ita adcelerāre legiōnēs Cremōnam, pars Hostīliam petere iussae: ipse Ravennam dēvertit praetextō classem adloquendī;So the legions were ordered to hasten to Cremona, and part of them to make for Hostilia: he himself turned aside to Ravenna on the pretext of addressing the fleet; Hist. 2.105.1mox Pataviī sēcrētum compōnendae prōditiōnis quaesītum.soon at Patavium a secret meeting was sought for arranging the betrayal. Hist. 2.105.1Namque Lūcīlius Bassus post praefectūram alae Ravennātī simul ac Mīsēnēnsī classibus ā Vitelliō praepositus, quod nōn statim praefectūram praetōriī adeptus foret, inīquam īrācundiam flāgitiōsā perfidiā ulcīscēbātur.For Lucilius Bassus, after commanding a cavalry squadron, had been put in charge of both the Ravenna and the Misenum fleets by Vitellius, and because he had not at once obtained the prefecture of the praetorian guard, he was avenging his unjust resentment with shameful treachery. Hist. 2.105.1Nec scīrī potest trāxeritne Caecīnam, an, quod ēvenit inter malōs ut et similēs sint, eadem illōs prāvitās impulerit.Nor can it be known whether he drew Caecina along with him, or whether, as happens among bad men, that they are also alike, the same depravity drove them both.
