After the description of the Capitol, he adds,
statuæ erant quot sunt mundi provinciæ; et habebat quæ libet tintinnabulum ad collum. Et erant ita per magicam artem dispositæ , ut quando aliqua regio Romano Imperio
rebellis erat, statim imago illius provinciæ vertebat se contra illam; unde tintinnabulum resonabat quod pendebat ad collum; tuncque vates Capitolii qui erant custodes senatui, etc.
He mentions an example of the Saxons and Suevi, who, after they had been subdued by Agrippa, again rebelled:
tintinnabulum sonuit; sacerdos qui erat in speculo in hebdomada senatoribus nuntiavit:
Agrippa marched back and reduced the &mdash Persians (Anonym. in Montfaucon, p. 297, 298).
