Quote:It would be interesting if these examples could be qualified by culture: did the Romans respond differently to Celts and Germanics than 'civilized' states? In the case of the Cimbric invasion, the fear (real or imagined) of a barbaric invasion surely was at least as strong a motive for allowing unconstitutional arrangements, wouldn't you agree?
The fear of the Cimbrons(?), did it not stem from the Celtic invasion and humilliation of Rome from ages before?
Visne partem mei capere? Comminus agamus! * Me semper rogo, Quid faceret Iulius Caesar? * Confidence is a good thing! Overconfidence is too much of a good thing.
