With these words she fell back lifeless, her staring eyes, even in death, fixed upon Manlius. The armies of the imperial rivals met between Belgrade and Szeudrö. The Imperator Carinus' troops were perfectly fresh; Diocletian's legions were wearied by fatiguing marches. Carinus ordered his tent to be pitched on the top of a hill, whence, at Manlius's side, he watched the conflict.
Livy's speeches often reveal considerable insight; Manlius's account of the Gauls in Asia, and Camillus's sarcastic description of their behaviour round Rome, go to the root of their national character and lay bare its weakness. The Samnites are criticised by Decius in terms which show that Livy had analysed the causes of their fall before Rome.
But so weak was authority and so dangerous the temper of the people that the difficulty was to know what to do. Secret information was scarcely needed. Catiline, as Cicero said, was "apertissimus," most frank in the declaration of his intentions. Manlius's army at Fiesole was an open fact, and any day might bring news that he was on the march to Rome.
