Captions available
The idea
Augustus made Senate and equestrians a civil service and replaced tax farming with salaried officials. In nine C.E. three legions, the anchor's twenty thousand, died in Germany at the Teutoburg Forest, a witness name, fixing the frontier at Rhine and Danube.
In practice
Deified at death; most Romans content after civil war.
Where people slip
Teutoburg is the exam's name; the anchor omits it.
