In the front of all, he sowed the whole space between the pits and the advanced ditch with crows-feet of an extraordinary size, which the soldiers called spurs.
Pagina 307 - They allow of no such tiling as property, or private possession in the distribution of their lands; their residence, for the sake of tillage, being confined to a single year. Corn is not much in use among them, because they prefer a milk or flesh diet, and are greatly addicted to hunting.
Pagina 344 - Cesar found it necessary to make some addition to his lines, that they might not require so many men to guard them. He therefore took trees of no great height, or large branches, which he caused to be made sharp at the ends, and running a trench of five feet deep before the lines, he ordered them to be put into it, and made fast at bottom, so that they could not be pulled up. This trench was again filled up in...
Pagina 187 - who condemned our fellow-citizens unheard, shall not be listened to himself " ; and he required him to confine himself to the customary oath, that he had done nothing contrary to the laws. "I swear," exclaimed Cicero, "that I have saved the state.
Pagina 102 - Sertorius and the remnant of the exiles, with their trains of statues and images ;°' but let danger and toil be far from you, who have no share in the advantage of them ; unless indeed your services have been repaid by the late law, so suddenly passed, for the distribution of corn ;" a law by which they have estimated the liberty of each individual at the price of ten gallons88 of corn, an allowance not more nutritious than that which is granted to prisoners.
