Post Christi adventum lux veritatis in mundo erat, sed Romani amici Christi et veritatis non
erant. Christiani autem amici Christi erant. Erant multi1 Christiani in imperio Romanorum.
Erant in portibus et in oppidis provinciarum et in silvis et in montibus. Erant in exercitu et in
equitatu et in senatu. Erant servi et milites; erant matres et patres, Galli et Romani. Propter
metum autem Christi, Regis, et propter nomen Dei Christianorum Romani Christianos
occiderunt. Post caedem Christianorum, Romani non erant amici et servi Dei. Christiani
autem, quod Romani Christianos propter legem Christi occiderunt, nunc in Caelo sunt cum
Mari et Christo et gloriam Dei Patris vident.

Exercise 76
Nomen: __________________
Date: ____________________
A Roman army never spent a single night outside a fortified camp. Towards the end of the days march,
a detachment was sent ahead to mark out the site for the nights encampment. The plots assigned to the various
divisions of the forces were indicated by colored flags. A rampart was always erected and a ditch dug. The
camp was generally square and had four gates. The Roman legionnaire was as much a builder and a laborer as a
fighting man. It was no doubt partly to continuous training that he owed his remarkable steadiness and
endurance in the field. The camp depicted on page 67 of your text is rather more elaborate and permanent, yet
the nightly encampments were constructed in the same general way.
