The state of feeling in Numidia was evinced by the revolt of Vaga, the most considerable of the cities occupied by the Romans, in the winter of 646-7; on which occasion the whole Roman garrison, officers and men, were put to death with the exception of the commandant Titus Turpilius Silanus, who was afterwards whether rightly or wrongly, we cannot tell condemned to death by a Roman court-martial and executed for having an understanding with the enemy.

When the men of Vaga saw the force bearing down upon their town, their first and right impression led them to close the gates; but two facts soon served to convince them of their error. The supposed enemy was not attempting to ravage their land, and the horsemen who rode near the walls were clearly men of Numidian blood.
The death was inflicted with all the barbarity of Roman military law; Turpilius was scourged and beheaded, and through this final expiation the episode of Vaga remained to many minds a still darker horror than before. But much had been gained by the recovery of the revolted town.
Driver stated that he did not know the way, and we ran into snow drifts, into gullies, over bluffs, through bushes, and after floundering around in the snow for six hours I heard the bugle from Shenkursk which was just across the river.

They went, therefore, to Rome, where the habit of S. Dominic was changed for that of S. Peter. Bramante at that time had caused two windows of travertine to be made in the Palace of the Pope, which were in the hall in front of the chapel, now embellished by a vaulted ceiling by Antonio da San Gallo, and by marvellous stucco-work from the hand of Perino del Vaga of Florence.
