page 97 note 1 With some diffidence I venture to differ here from my friend Mr. Ogilvie, . On p. 285Google Scholar he accepts that the new fortified limes frontier system was pioneered by Domitian in the campaign of A.d. 83 in the Taunus district: thus it is unlikely that the use is generalized yet as he suggests ad loc. on p. 292. So I render it specifically. Again, on his own showing that the bellum Germanicum of ILS 1006 was the rising of Saturninus on the Rhine in a.d. 88 (p. 291) it is hard to confine ripa to Danube, as he does on p. 292.
