Liv. 2, 40:

muliebre et miserabile agmen,

Tac. A. 1, 40: numerosum agmen reorum, Plin Ep. 3, 9, and Tac. H. 4, 6: Eumenidum agmina, Verg A. 4, 469.—But particularly,

The train, procession, march, progress of an army:

de castris, de agminibus, etc., dicere,

Cic. de Or. 1, 48, 210:

ne miles gregarius in castris, neve in agmine servum aut jumentum haberet,

Sall. J. 45, 2:

pugnatum saepe directā acie, saepe in agminibus, saepe eruptionibus,

Vell. 2, 47:

effuso agmine abire,

Liv. 44, 39:

uno agmine victores cum victis in urbem irrupere,

id. 2, 30;

uno agmine persequentes,

Vulg. Judith, 15, 4 al. —

Transf., concr., an army, and properly considered as in motion, on the march (while exercitus is a disciplined army, and acies an army in battle-array) —As soon as the signal for marching was given, the Extraordinarii and the allies of the right wing, with their baggage, first put themselves in motion, then the legions, and last the allies of the left wing, with a part of the cavalry, which either rode behind the army, ad agmen claudendum or cogendum. to close the train, i. e. to keep it to gether or on the side in such an order (composito agmine, non itineri magis apto quam proelio) that it might be easily put into the line of battle, if the enemy ven tured to attack it; cf. Sall. J. 46, 6.—An army in close ranks was called agmen justum, Tac. H. 1, 68, or agmen pilatum, Serv. ad Verg. A. 12, 121—When there was no apprehension of the enemy, less care was taken for the protection of the army:

agmine incauto, i. e. minus munito, ut inter pacatos, ducebat, sc. consul,

Liv. 35, 4.—

The order of march was, however, different, according to circumstances and the nature of the ground,

Liv. 35, 4; 27, 28; and cf. Smith's Antiq.—Sometimes the army marched in the form of a square, agmen quadratum, with their baggage in the middle, so as to be in battle-array on meeting the enemy; hence agmen quadratum often means the same as acies triplex, an army formed in line of battle, only that the former indicates that they are on the march, and the latter that they are at rest.—Hence, like acies, with the epithet primum, the vanguard, Liv. 34, 28; Tac. Agr. 35:

medium,

the centre, Liv. 10, 41; Tac. H. 4, 22:

extremum,

Liv. 34, 28; Tac. H. 2, 100;

or, novissimum,

the rear, rearguard, Liv. 44, 33; so,

extremi agminis,

Vulg. Deut. 25, 18:

ut inde agmine quadratc ad urbem accederet,

marching in a square, Cic. Phil. 13, 8:

Liv. 21, 5; se id. 31, 36; 37, 39:

quadrato agmine velut in aciem irent,

Curt. 5, 1, 19 al. —Sometimes, esp. in the poets in the plur., in gen. [p. 73] sense, = exercitus or copiae, an army, host, troops:

ib. Ezech. 12, 14; 38, 6.—For military service, warfare:

Spec., from the most ancient per. down to the time of the Gracchi, when a literature had been formed, each pontifex maximus wrote down the occurrences of his year on tablets, which were hung up in his dwelling for the information of the public.

Calpurnius Piso (cf. Cic. de Or. 2, 12, 51); in the time of the emperors, Tacitus named one of his hist. works Annales, since in it the history of Rome, from the death of Aug. until the time of Nero, was given acc. to the annual succession of events; cf.

A curtain, canopy:

Hor.

Smith, Dict. Antiq.; hence the expression, aulaeum tollitur, is drawn up, at the end of a piece (act), Cic. Cael. 27, 65; Ov. M. 3, 111; on the contr. mittitur, is dropped, at the beginning, Phaedr. 5, 7, 23. Usually such curtains were wrought with the figures of gods or men, esp. of heroes, and in drawing up the curtain, the upper part of the figures would first become visible, then the lower parts in succession, appearing, as it were, themselves to draw up the curtain;
