A. D. 88-94. ] VICES OF DOMITIAN. 163 manded in Upper Germany, having been grossly insulted by the emperor, formed an alliance with the Alemans, and caused himself to be proclaimed emperor. But L. Maximus marched against him, and, the Alemans having been pre- vented from coming to his aid by the rising of the Rhine, he was defeated and slain. Maximus wisely and humanely burned all his papers; but that did not prevent the tyrant from putting many persons to death, as concerned in the revolt.
A w
...ar against the Sarmatians, who had cut to pieces a Roman legion, is placed by the chronologists in the year 94. Domitian conducted it in person, after his usual manner ; but, instead of triumpliing, he contented himself with suspend- ing a laurel crown in the Capitol. This is the last foreign transaction of his reign.
After the first three or four years of his reign, the evil qualities of Domitian displayed themsekes more and more every day. By nature a coward, his fears, increased by his belief in the follies of astrology, rendered him cruel, and the want brought on by his extravagance made him rapa- cious.
