    II.
    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:

    pariter atque in conspectu hostium quadrato agmine incedere,

    Sall. J 100, 1; cf. id. ib. 46, 6, 7:

    Hannibal agmine quadrato amnem ingressus,

    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:

    huic tanto agmini dux defuit,

    Just. 12, 10:

    occidit Daci Cotisonis agmen,

    Hor. C. 3, 8, 18:

    an unbroken train, id. Pis. 22, 51:

  • 70 Bestia

    bestĭa, ae, f. [perh. akin to fera and to belua], a beast (as a being without reason; opp. to man; while animal, = aliving being, includes man; bestia includes both fera, the beast as distinguished by fierceness, and belua, as distinguished by its size or ferocity; cf. Doed. Syn. 4, p. 290 sq.).
    I.
    Lit.
    A.
    In gen. (in the classical per. mostly in prose;

    esp. freq. in Cic., who uses it in its most extended signif., of every kind of living creature excepting man): disserens, neque in homine inesse animum vel animam nec in bestiā,

    Cic. Tusc. 1, 10, 21; 5, 13, 38; id. N. D. 2, 11, 31; id. Agr. 2, 4, 9:

    Of the ostrich: sequitur natura avium, quarum grandissimi et paene bestiarum generis struthiocameli,

    Plin. 10, 1, 1, § 1; cf. Dig. 3, 1, 1, § 6; 9, 1, 1, § 10.—With muta, Cic. Fin. 1, 21, 71; Liv. 7, 4, 6 (cf. mutae pecudes, Cic. Q. Fr. 1, 8, 24).—And for the designation of a wild animal, with fera:

    vinctum ante se Thyum agebat, ut si feram bestiam captam duceret,

    Nep. Dat. 3, 2 Dähne; Liv. 26, 13, 12; 26, 27, 12; Auct. Her. 2, 19, 29; Just. Inst. 2, 1, 12 sq.—
    2.
    As a term of reproach (cf. belua and our beast):

    mala tu es bestia,

    Plaut. Bacch. 1, 1, 21; id. Poen. 5, 5, 13.—And, humorously, of the odor of the armpits (cf. ala and caper), Cat. 69, 8.—
    B.
    Esp., when the contest with animals became more usual in the public spectacles at Rome (not yet customary A.U.C. 583, B.C. 171, Liv. 44, 9, 4), bestia designated, without the addition of fera, a wild beast destined to fight with gladiators or criminals (v. bestiarius;

    usually lions, tigers, panthers, etc.).—Hence, ad bestias mittere aliquem,

    to send one to fight with wild beasts, Cic. Pis. 36, 89; so, bestiis obioere aliquem, Asin. ap. Cic. Fam. 10, 32, 3:

    the condemnation to fight with wild beasts, ib. 48, 13, 6 al. —Hence the expl.:

  • 71 bestia

    1.
    bestĭa, ae, f. [perh. akin to fera and to belua], a beast (as a being without reason; opp. to man; while animal, = aliving being, includes man; bestia includes both fera, the beast as distinguished by fierceness, and belua, as distinguished by its size or ferocity; cf. Doed. Syn. 4, p. 290 sq.).
    I.
    Lit.
    A.
    In gen. (in the classical per. mostly in prose;

    esp. freq. in Cic., who uses it in its most extended signif., of every kind of living creature excepting man): disserens, neque in homine inesse animum vel animam nec in bestiā,

    Cic. Tusc. 1, 10, 21; 5, 13, 38; id. N. D. 2, 11, 31; id. Agr. 2, 4, 9:

    quod si hoc apparet in bestiis volucribus, nantibus, agrestibus, cicuribus, feris... quanto id magis in homine fit natura, etc.,

    id. Lael. 21, 81; id. N. D. 2, 48, 124.—So of the serpent, Plaut. Poen. 5, 2, 75.—Of the crocodile and other amphibious animals, Cic. l. l.—Of the dog, Cic. Rosc.

    Of the ostrich: sequitur natura avium, quarum grandissimi et paene bestiarum generis struthiocameli,

    Plin. 10, 1, 1, § 1; cf. Dig. 3, 1, 1, § 6; 9, 1, 1, § 10.—With muta, Cic. Fin. 1, 21, 71; Liv. 7, 4, 6 (cf. mutae pecudes, Cic. Q. Fr. 1, 8, 24).—And for the designation of a wild animal, with fera:

    vinctum ante se Thyum agebat, ut si feram bestiam captam duceret,

    Nep. Dat. 3, 2 Dähne; Liv. 26, 13, 12; 26, 27, 12; Auct. Her. 2, 19, 29; Just. Inst. 2, 1, 12 sq.—

    As a term of reproach (cf. belua and our beast):

    mala tu es bestia,

    Plaut. Bacch. 1, 1, 21; id. Poen. 5, 5, 13.—And, humorously, of the odor of the armpits (cf. ala and caper), Cat. 69, 8.—
    B.
    Esp., when the contest with animals became more usual in the public spectacles at Rome (not yet customary A.U.C. 583, B.C. 171, Liv. 44, 9, 4), bestia designated, without the addition of fera, a wild beast destined to fight with gladiators or criminals (v. bestiarius;

    usually lions, tigers, panthers, etc.).—Hence, ad bestias mittere aliquem,

    to send one to fight with wild beasts, Cic. Pis. 36, 89; so, bestiis obioere aliquem, Asin. ap. Cic. Fam. 10, 32, 3:

    condemnare aliquem ad bestias,

    Suet. Calig. 27; id. Claud. 14:

    dare aliquem ad bestias,

    Dig. 48, 8, 11; Gell. 5, 14, 27:

    ad pugnam bestiarum datus, Gell. l. l. § 10: tradere aliquem ad bestias depugnandas, Dig. l. l.: bestiarum damnatio,

    the condemnation to fight with wild beasts, ib. 48, 13, 6 al. —Hence the expl.:

    bestiarum vocabulum proprie convenit leonibus, pardis et lupis, tigribus et vulpibus, canibus et simiis ac ceteris, quae vel ore vel unguibus saeviunt, exceptis serpentibus,

    Isid. Orig. 12, 2, 1 (but cf. supra, 1.).—
    II.
    Transf., as a constellation, the wotf, Vitr. 9, 4 (7) (called by Cic. Arat. 211 or 455, Quadrupes vasta).
    2.

    I.
    The consul L. Calpurnius Bestia, Sall. J. 27, 4 al.; Flor. 3, 1, 7.—
    II.
    The tribune of the people L. Bestia, Cic. Brut. 34, 128; id. de Or. 2, 70, 283.—
    III.
    Another tribune of the people, L. Bestia, a confederate of Catiline, Sall. C. 17, 3; 43, 1.
