4 I, 5 | incurred by converting the two legions from their expedition
5 I, 6 | into his consulate, the two days of election excepted,
6 I, 7 | matters passed. The provinces, two of which were consular,
7 I, 10 | throughout Italy; that the two legions which had been taken

15 I, 30 | the veteran army, and the two Spains, one of which was
16 I, 32 | making levies, had raised two legions. From his acquaintance
17 I, 36 | people was divided into two factions: that they had
18 I, 36 | Pompey and Caius Caesar, the two patrons of the state: the
19 I, 39 | the river Guadiana with two legions; the third from
20 I, 40 | three legions, Petreius two. There were besides about
21 I, 40 | this proceeding he gained two points; he secured the interest
22 I, 41 | messengers. He had made two bridges over the river Segre,
23 I, 41 | skirmishes with each other. When two of Fabius's legions had,
24 I, 41 | marched against Fabius's two legions. When his approach

29 I, 47 | and, riding between the two armies, made our retreat
30 I, 47 | other centurions, and above two hundred men. ~
31 I, 49 | 1.48]In two days after this transaction,
32 I, 49 | mentioned, was pitched between two rivers, the Segre and Cinca,
33 I, 52 | were missing that day about two hundred bow-men, a few horse,
34 I, 55 | sides, he finished it in two days. By this means, he
35 I, 56 | divided themselves into two parts, the one to protect
36 I, 59 | they cheerfully opposed two of the enemy's ships with
37 I, 62 | this resolution: for of the two adverse parties, that, which
38 I, 62 | together, and transported two legions over the river Segre,
39 I, 64 | march. Accordingly, leaving two auxiliary cohorts in the
40 I, 64 | formed one camp with the two legions which they had led
41 I, 71 | pieces in the sight of the two armies. ~

43 I, 75 | their friends, so that the two camps seemed to be united
44 I, 79 | difficulties; but of the two schemes proposed, the most
45 I, 83 | the deliberations on it, two days were spent. By the
46 I, 83 | decisive victory; for the two camps were not distant from
47 I, 83 | distant from each other above two thousand feet. Two parts
48 I, 83 | above two thousand feet. Two parts of this were occupied

53 II, 1 | turrets against the town, on two sides; one of which was
54 II, 6 | and otherwise engaged; and two of their three-decked galleys;
55 II, 9 | on that place they laid two beams across, angle-ways,
56 II, 10 | sixty feet long, of timber, two feet square, and to extend
57 II, 10 | was the form of it: first, two beams of equal length were
58 II, 10 | upon this were laid beams, two feet square, bound with

104 III, 35 | his legion. As there were two factions there, he, found
105 III, 37 | Scipio, having staid for two days in his camp, along
106 III, 37 | miles in breadth between the two camps, he posted his army
107 III, 37 | camp with the loss of only two men. ~
108 III, 38 | for any more, having got two troops in their power, intercepted
109 III, 38 | prisoners all the rest of these two troops, and brought them
110 III, 51 | of his camp, came up with two legions to assist the cohort;
111 III, 52 | there were engagements in two other places; for Pompey
112 III, 53 | slain, we found that about two thousand fell on Pompey'

162 I, 49 | before arranged, ordered two lines to drive off the enemy:
163 I, 49 | fortified, he left there two legions and a portion of
164 I, 53 | of them. Ariovistus had two wives, one a Suevan by nation,

254 VIII, 4 | and the intolerable cold, two hundred sestertii each,
255 VIII, 4 | and to every centurian two thousand, to be given instead

258 VIII, 6 | Fabius, to march with his two legions to the country of

271 VIII, 46 | on the ocean; the other two he placed in the territories
