Avitus sent despatches to Curtilius Mancia, the commander in chief on the Upper Rhine, with instructions to cross the river, and show himself in. the rear of the enemy. In the mean time, he put himself at the head of the legions, and entered the country of the Tencterians threatening to carry sword and fire through their territories, if they did not forthwith renounce the confederacy. The barbarians laid down their arms. The Bructerians in a panic followed their example. Terror and consternation spread through the country. In the cause of others none were willing to encounter certain danger.
