text_original: hour of the Colonia Forojuliensis (Fr^jus) was chosen by Augustus to receive some of the ships that fought at Actium. A few thousand men, nine cohorts of the praetorian guards, and three of the urban watch sufficed for the police of Rome ; and elsewhere through the whole interior of the vast dominion no garrisons were needed, and the tramp of armed men was seldom heard upon the great highways that ran through the old countries of the Empire.
