Yet, because of a rumor that spread abroad shortly after his death, people began to believe in him again, and a sect sprang up. This sect gained a following at length in Rome ; because, as the citizen Tacitus bitterly confesses, everything worthless and vile drifted to the capital. Nero burnt these fanatics. Trajan out- lawed them. The gentle Aurelius did not scruple to murder them. Decius slew them wholesale. Diocletian and Galerius The Crusaders 137 sought them out man by man, woman by woman,... child by child, determined that not one of the vermin should remain to corrupt the Roman State. Then, after two hundred and fifty years of this fierce and bloody work, the State rested in weary satisfaction and celebrated its vic- tory. But the next emperor is a Christian. He takes the eagles from his standards, and replaces them with crosses. The badge of shame becomes a sign of glory. He bids his Roman soldiers fight in the name of the crucified Jew. Roman sol- diers bow the knee to Him whom Roman soldiers scourged.
