Histories 2.93

Hist. 2.93.1Ipse Vitellius ā ponte Mulviō īnsignī equō, palūdātus accīnctusque, senātum et populum ante sē agēns, quō minus ut captam urbem ingrederētur, amīcōrum cōnsiliō dēterritus, sūmptā praetextā et compositō agmine incessit.Vitellius himself, setting out from the Mulvian Bridge on a splendid horse, in a general's cloak and wearing his sword, driving the senate and people before him, was deterred by the advice of his friends from entering as though into a captured city, and, putting on the bordered toga and with his column drawn up in order, he advanced on foot. Hist. 2.93.1Quattuor legiōnum aquilae per frontem totidemque circā ē legiōnibus aliīs vēxilla, mox duodecim alārum signa et post peditum ōrdinēs eques;The eagles of four legions were in the front line, and around them as many standards from other legions; then the ensigns of twelve cavalry squadrons, and after the ranks of the infantry the cavalry; Hist. 2.93.1Dein quattuor et trīgintā cohortēs, ut nōmina gentium aut speciēs armōrum forent, discrētae.then thirty-four cohorts, distinguished according to the names of their peoples or the style of their arms.

Hist. 2.93.1Ante aquilās praefectī castrōrum tribūnīque et prīmī centuriōnum candidā veste, cēterī iūxtā suam quisque centuriam, armīs dōnīsque fulgentēs;Before the eagles marched the camp prefects and tribunes and the senior centurions, dressed in white, the rest each beside his own century, gleaming with arms and decorations; Hist. 2.93.1et mīlitum phalerae torquēsque splendēbant: decōra faciēs et nōn Vitelliō prīncipe dignus exercitus.and the soldiers' medallions and collars shone: a handsome sight, and an army not worthy to have Vitellius as emperor. Hist. 2.93.1Sīc Capitōlium ingressus atque ibi mātrem complexus Augustae nōmine honōrāvit.So he entered the Capitol, and there he embraced his mother and honoured her with the title of Augusta.
