But the RotnaiiEmPire did net' by any

to consist - in 'DI

ed; and every mode of exercise was prac

or the.dangers•of a battle. This course
was pursued whether in.a time of peace or
a time, of war; so, that; in -the language of
Josephus, a field Q 4. bottle was only dis
tinguished from afield of •exerciee,•by the
effusion,Of blood. 1,. • -• • .
The naval -preparations of the Ronians;
however, were not ..very,extensive, being
suggested and limited almost entirely by
the desire of the republic to suppress. - pi ,-
rat - ice] outrage, and An:. preserve the- corn--'
coerce of, the Mediterranean: With this
vieW,:eompetent fleets were placed in the
' most eenyenient,portS of Italy;' the one ,at

Notwithstanding thi-display of military

however to thisldmanc. policy occurred in
the. case of . Gaul, where the Emperors
pa:6sec! very severe laws .on this subject;
with the pure' .. purpose - breaking down,
the power of , thebruids and thereby abo-,
lishing human sacrifices The invidious
distinction which formerly existed between_
the citizens of Rome and Italy and the in
habitants of the provinces, had now given
- place te - iIWI - theratTnibey of adTati — ng the
latter . to.the freedom of the imperial-city.
The conquests of the Empire were also
elevated to the dignity ,and privileges of
-Romans, by -the-establishment among-them -
of 'colonies peculiarly under the notice of
-the 'Emperors. All which, together with.
the widely thlinsed use of: the Latin bin
guage throughout : • the wliole • kingdom,
gradvally obliterated' party feeling and
bound the =lion. together by the strong'
ties of interest and affection. The benig
nity, and wisdom of imperial power were
greatly magnified by alleviating the 'misery
of . that large and depressed portion of• so- eiety, who, from the ainfidentS of battle or .
birthiliail fallen into a- state-of slavery:—
The oppressions to which this unfortunate
class of beings had long been subject, were
much mitigated:or entirely removed in fuel
reigns of, liadriml. and the Antoninee, by
taking the power of life and death from tite
heads of the-master and vesting- it--in -,}-tr
hands _of the magi we

abolishing all subterraneous prisons; and
directing that upon a complaint of Intel-era
ble treatment, the slave, should :he either
.delivered , froni his bonds or obtain
. 11 less

was!alsd enacted. -But the slave was' per

by the sympathy of the citizens. • Anct.the
entire policy has . been thought absolutely'
