text_original: Then, at last, Vitellius summoned reso  lution to raise recruits from the populace of Rome, and to call out the newly levied cohorts of the guards. He set out at their head to guard the passes of the Apennines, but he soon wearied of the hardships of the field, and came back again to Rome to hear fresh tidings of treach  ery and losses, and to be told that Valens had been captured in the effort to raise Gaul in his defence, and to feel that his days of power were numbered.
