| [208.1] | Tacitus’ depiction of the idle life of the Germanic men can only apply, insofar as there is any truth in it, to those followers who had left their homeland and now, in the service and in the company of their prince, were leading a knight’s life, which would indeed have been very different from the life of the Roman mercenary as Tacitus knew it. |
