instance of Manlius, who made war on the
Galzttians for having furnished succms to
Antiochus, is not to the pomtsi. Grotiusj'
censures the Roman general for beginning
the war without a declaration. The Cala

selves enemies to Rome. Indeed as a peace
had been made-with Antiochus, it seems as

But the finishinsi;r hand was notyet put to the:
