Excerpt from Dio S Rome, Vol. 2: An Historical Narrative Originally Composed in Greek During the Reigns of Septimus Severus, Geta and Caracalla, Macrinus, Elagabalus and Alexander SeverusWhile they were so engaged, Lucullus did not follow up Tigranes, but allowed him to reach safety quite at leisure. Because of this he was charged by the citi zens, as well as others, with refusing to end the war, in order that he might retain his command a longer time. Therefore they then restored the province of Asia to the prmtors, and later, when he apparently acted in this way again, sent to him the consul of that year, to re lieve him. Tigranocerta he did seize when the foreign ers that dwelt with the natives revolted to the side of the Armenians. The most of these were Cilicians who had once been deported, and they let in the Romans during the night. Thereupon everything was laid waste except what belonged to the Cilicians, and many wives of the principal chiefs Lucullus held, when cap~ tured, free from outrage: by this action he won over their husbands also. He received further Antiochus, king of Commagecne (the Syrian country near the Eu phrates and the Taurus), and Alchaudonius, an Ara bian chieftain, and others who had made proposals for peace.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
