text_original: Dion Cassius mentions the Dion 'terrible depopulation^ which Julius Caesar Cassius, noted with concern, and the difficulty which Augustus found in levying troops to fill up the void made by the loss of Varus and his legions ; while Pliny tells us of the grief and wounded pride which the same Emperor felt when he enlisted slaves in place of free men. The stress which Augustus laid upon the remedies which he applied shows how urgent seemed the evil.
