text_original: Four held the lines of the Euphrates, two were needed for the care of Egypt, the granary of Rome, while an equal number held tl^e rest of Africa. Three more were kept in Spain, some of whose wilder tribes had been but lately brought into sub  jection. These legions, twenty five in all, were attended in the field by auxiliary forces of about equal numbers, bearing the names and national character of the races that sent their separate contingents to the field.
