Of the XCVII. booke.

Marcus Crassus the Pretour first fought with a power of the fugitives aforesaid, consisting of Frenchmen and Germanes, and woon the better: for he slew 35000 enemies, and their cheefetain Granicus. After that, he warred against Spartacus, killed him also and 40000 with him. Manius An∣tonius the Pretour maintained war unfortunately against the Cretensians, and by his death it tooke an end. M. Lucullus the Proconsull brought the Thracians under subiection. L. Lucullus had the upper hand in a battell of Mithridates in Pontus, and slew above sixtie thousand enemies. M. Crassus and Cn. Pompeius were created Coss. and as Crassus immediately by out of his Pretorship stepped to that dignitie, so Pompey was of a gentleman of Rome and no better advanced thereunto, even before he had borne the office of Treasurer. They restored againe the Tribunes power and authoritie. By the meanes of Aurelius Cotta, the preheminence of iudges also was translated unto the gentlemen of Rome. Mithridates, seeing his owne estate lying in despaire, fled unto Tigrantes king of Armenia for succour.
