The rest of his life is full of adventure. It is now Norcia. In B.C. 97 Didius was in Spain as Proconsul, and fought against the Celtiberi. Didius is mentioned by Cicero, Pro Cn. The passage in the text should be translated, "he was sent out under Didius as commander, and wintered in Iberia, in Castlo," &c.
The first man I recognized was Faltonius Bambilio, unmistakably pompous and self-satisfied. Although a senator he came early. Later I saw Vedius Vedianus and, far from him, Satronius Satro. Didius Julianus, always the most ostentatious of the senators, was unmistakable even in section B, further from me than any part of the Circus except the left hand starting stalls and their neighborhood.
A few years afterwards the consul of 640 Gaius Porcius Cato was surprised in the Servian mountains by the same Scordisci, and his army completely destroyed, while he himself with a few attendants disgracefully fled; with difficulty the praetor Marcus Didius protected the Roman frontier.
This was the ignominious death of Heliogaba'lus, in the eighteenth year of his age, after a detestable reign of four years. Questions for Examination. Who succeeded Didius Julianus? What was the character of Severus? By what means did he strengthen his power? What were his first acts? To whom did he commit the government in his absence? What were his exploits?
I own I never could envy Didius in these kinds of fancies of his: But every man to his own taste. Did not Dr. Kunastrokius, that great man, at his leisure hours, take the greatest delight imaginable in combing of asses tails, and plucking the dead hairs out with his teeth, though he had tweezers always in his pocket?
There you push the argument again too far, cried Didius for there is no prohibition in nature, though there is in the Levitical law but that a man may beget a child upon his grandmother in which case, supposing the issue a daughter, she would stand in relation both of But who ever thought, cried Kysarcius, of laying with his grandmother?
About the same time, the legion also which Cesius Nasica led, got the vpper hand of those Britains against whom he was sent. For Didius being aged, and by victories past inough renowmed, thought it sufficient for him to make warre by his capteins, so to staie and kéepe off the enimie.
And Triptolemus and Phutatorius agreeing thereto, ask, How is it possible there should? for that wit and judgment in this world never go together; inasmuch as they are two operations differing from each other as wide as east from west So, says Locke so are farting and hickuping, say I. But in answer to this, Didius the great church lawyer, in his code de fartendi et illustrandi fallaciis, doth maintain and make fully appear, That an illustration is no argument nor do I maintain the wiping of a looking-glass clean to be a syllogism; but you all, may it please your worships, see the better for it so that the main good these things do is only to clarify the understanding, previous to the application of the argument itself, in order to free it from any little motes, or specks of opacular matter, which, if left swimming therein, might hinder a conception and spoil all.
This clamour however, as years rolled on, became fainter and fainter. The debate which recurred every spring on the Mutiny Bill came to be regarded merely as an occasion on which hopeful young orators fresh from Christchurch were to deliver maiden speeches, setting forth how the guards of Pisistratus seized the citadel of Athens, and how the Praetorian cohorts sold the Roman empire to Didius.
