What, my lord! Can you be in doubt as to so great deeds?
Julian.
No, I cannot but think—— And the battle of Argentoratum? Was I not there? I cannot but fancy that I defeated Knodomar. And after the victory——; Florentius, have I dreamt it, or did I rebuild Trajan’s fortress, when we marched into German territory?
Florentius.
Noble Caesar, is there any man so mad as to deny you the honour of these exploits?
Severus.
[To Decentius.] I praise the destiny that has vouchsafed to my old age so victorious a leader.
Florentius.
[Also to the Tribune.] I dare scarcely think what turn this inroad of the Alemanni might have taken, but for Caesar’s courage and conduct.
Many Courtiers.
