Description:

"2 And not a little good resulted from that expedition, even by the time they had advanced as far as Aquileia, for several kings retreated, together with their peoples, and put to death the authors of the trouble" (Scriptores Historia Augusta, Marcus Aurelius, 14)

5 Just as he was setting out for Germany, he acquired elaborate gardens, although he had previously kept only an unpretentious dwelling in the city and a single farm in Venetia. 6 And now, when he was reclining on the ground in these gardens, partaking of a frugal supper with his children, his elder son, who was then five years old, divided the fruit, when it was served, with rather a bounteous hand among his young playmates (Scriptores Historia Augusta, Severus, 4

"8 When they had come to Aquileia, they proceeded to cross the Alps, though this was contrary to Lucius' desire; for as long as they remained in Aquileia he did nothing but hunt and banquet while Marcus made all the plans" (Scriptores Historia Augusta, Verus, 9)

"6 After this he came to Aquileia, which shut its gates against him and posted armed men about the walls" (Scriptores Historia Augusta, Two Maximini, 21)

"§ 22 So when Maximinus found he was besieging Aquileia in vain, he sent envoys to the city" (Scriptores Historia Augusta, Two Maximini, 22)

"6 And so some of the soldiers, whose wives and children were on the Alban Mountain, becoming fearful, in the middle of the day, when they rested from the fighting, slew Maximinus and his son as they lay in their tent, and putting their heads on poles, showed them to the citizens of Aquileia" (Scriptores Historia Augusta, Two Maximini, 23)

"3 This done, a mighty store of provisions was speedily carried from Aquileia to the camp, which was suffering from hunger, and after the soldiers were refreshed, on a later day they came to an assembly" (Scriptores Historia Augusta, Two Maximini, 24)

"4 Indeed, that time when he walked about the walls of Aquileia with his father, asking its surrender, nothing but filthy insinuations were hurled at him," (Scriptores Historia Augusta, Two Maximini, 28)

"2 For really Maximinus was conquered by the townsfolk of Aquileia, together with a few soldiers who were there and the consulars Crispinus and Menophilus, who had been sent thither by the senate, 3 and Maximus had only gone up to Aquileia, in order to leave everything safe and undisturbed up to the Alps, and also, if there were any of the barbarians who had favoured Maximinus left, to suppress these (Scriptores Historia Augusta, Maximus and Balbinus, 12)

" 6 After the same manner letters were written to the people of Antioch, of Aquileia, of Milan, of Alexandria, of Thessalonica, of Corinth, and of Athens" (Scriptores Historia Augusta, Tacitus, 18)

"4 I myself remember having read in a certain journal that Carus was born at Milan but enrolled in the official list of the council of the cities of Aquileia. 5 Carus himself, it cannot be denied, wished to appear a Roman, for this is shown by a letter of his, which he wrote when proconsul to his legate, urging him to a faithful performance of duty (Scriptores Historia Augusta, Carus, Carinus, and Numerianus, 4)
