Note 269 — Chapter X · THE IMPERIAL AND MILITARY POLICY OF AUGUSTUS
Reading edition
The armed provinces were those on the frontier. Towards the end of the life of Augustus, the preponderance of the military force on the Rhine and Danube is the noteworthy fact. The Gauls and “Germany” had eight legions, Spain three, Africa two, Egypt two, Syria four, Pannonia two, Mœsia two, Dalmatia two. But those on the Rhine were more concentrated. (Tac., Ann. 4, 5.)
