1 he fecond equally puts the being of the Cafirum fid* 
tivum out of difpute, when it acquaints us with the Re- 
building of the Armamentaria ^nd Prtneipia there, that fS^ 
the Arcenali and Quarters either of the Legionary Soldi- 
ers, that were call’d the Principe^, or the place where 
the Fagles and other military Enfigns were kept. It is ^ 
probable they did not belong to one particular Legion,

Camp might be thought ufelefs, the Roman Forces be--
