text_original: Vespasian had ruled with wise economy and replenished his e.xhausted coffers ; but then his name recalled the memory of a mean and sordid parsimony that trafficked and haggled for the pettiest gains. Most of the other Cmsars had supplied their needs by rapine ; had struck down wealthy victims when they coveted their lands or mansions, or had let the informers loose upon their prey, to harry and to prosecute, and to rake the spoils into the Emperor's and wish to privy purse.
