		The cavalry were told to go further forward, provoke a battle, and by voluntarily beating a retreat induce the enemy to gallop after them far enough for the auxiliaries to take them by surprise.
		This increased the panic and confusion on the field of battle, for the scattered groups, nowhere in strength, were borne away one after another by the stampede.
		Indeed, as the battle was fought over a wide area thickly planted with a maze of vines and vine-props, it presented a variety of aspects.

		Vitellius made a few attempts to check the victorious advance of his opponent, and even tried to collect a new army at Rome, but both officers and soldiers soon laid down their arms.

		Since Cremona was well defended by its city walls and castle, it was virtually impregnable, and therefore he had to conceive a daring plan to enter the town.

		With the Austrians who infiltrated Cremona was Captain Francis MacDonnell of the Austrian army, descended from an ancient Galloglas clan of Mayo.
		These date from a period later than Cremona, but note that red coats were worn throughout the Brigade's history, signifying their support for the Stuart claim to the English crown.
		It has been said that Cremona was "taken by a miracle, and lost by a greater one." Prince Eugene must have cursed the Penal Laws of the English at that moment as much as England's king would 43 years later, after the battle of Fontenoy.

	Vitellius
		Had Otho died a dignified death, then Vitellius comments on the 'the sent of death of a fellow Roman being very sweet' when visiting the battle field of Cremona (which was still littered with bodies at the time), did little to endear him to his subjects.
		Valens was ill. And Caecina, in a joint effort with the prefect of the fleet at Ravenna, attempted to change his allegiance from Vitellius to Vespasian (Though his troops did not obey him and instead arrested him).
		The Second Battle of Cremona began on 24 October AD 69 and ended the next day in utter defeat for teh side of Vitellius.

	The Histories [of Ancient Rome] by Cornelius Tacitus:book 3
		Four miles from Cremona, the glint of standards marked the approach of the Hurricane and Italian Legions, which had marched out as far as this during the initial success of their cavalry.
		The first phase of the battle was a distant exchange of arrows and stones, resulting in greater damage to the Flavians, who were exposed to the full force of the plunging fire.
		They feared that if Cremona too were taken by storm, there would be no further question of quarter and the conqueror's anger would fall entirely upon the tribunes and centurions who were worth killing rather than upon the multitude who had nothing to lose.

		The I Adiutrix continued as part of the permanent legionary forces in Spain while the sailors of the Ravenna fleet, who forced Antonius Primus to enrol them as legionaries after the second battle of Cremona, were formally organised by order of Vespasian in March ’70 into Legio II Adiutrix Pia Fidelis (Dutiful and Steadfast).

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.05.13
		While F. resists claims that the particular configurations of dactylo-spondaic clausulae studied establish a link between historia and epic, he does show that Latin historians made creative, sometimes even structural use of such 'epicizing' rhythms in their artistic prose.
		It is in battle narratives, however, that the influence of epic on historiography demonstrably comes into its own.
		Not wrong, and not impractical for his purposes; but the avoidance of critical discussions again impoverishes what should be a solid foundation for his argument.
