Eius sectam Metellus secutus, cum exercitum in Africa Iugurthino bello nimia Spuri Albini indulgentia corruptum consul accepisset, omnibus imperii neruis ad reuocandam pristinae disciplinam militiae conisus est: nec singulas partes adprehendit, sed totam continuo in suum statum redegit: protinus namque lixas e castris submouit cibumque coctum uenalem proponi uetuit: in agmine neminem militum ministerio seruorum iumentorumque, ut arma sua et alimenta ipsi ferrent, uti passus est: castrorum subinde locum mutauit: eadem, tamquam Iugurtha semper adesset, uallo fossaque aptissime cinxit. quid ergo restituta continentia, quid repetita industria profecit? crebras scilicet uictorias et multa tropaea peperit ex eo hoste, cuius tergum sub ambitioso imperatore Romano militi uidere non contigerat.
