	Velleius Paterculus
		In those days, Paterculus' now deservedly famous description of the conflict between the Romans and the Germanic tribes, which culminates in his account of the battle in the Teutoburg Forest, seemed remarkably relevant to the conflict between the German reformer Marten Luther and the Roman Catholic church.
		Paterculus is also indebted to the Roman historian Sallustius (86-34), who stated that the fall of Carthage in 146 had been the most important turning point in the history of Rome.
		Marcus Vinicius and any other senator reading the Roman History knew that Augustus was responsible for the last fourteen years of civil war, that the power of the magistrates was not restored to former limits but simply curtailed, and that the monarch had restored the republic in form only.
