Chronicarum libri II (395 - 406) Sulpicius Severus |
| Quotation |
Denique cum miscetur testum atque ferrum numquam inter se coeunte materie, commixtiones humani generis futurae a se inuicem dissidentes significantur, siquidem Romanum solum ab exteris gentibus aut rebellibus occupatum aut dedentibus se per pacis speciem traditum constet. Exercitibusque nostris, urbibus atque prouinciis permixtas barbaras nationes, et praecipue iudaeos, inter nos degere nec tamen in mores nostros transire uideamus. Atque haec esse postrema prophetae annuntiant. |
| Translation |
In the end, the fact that the iron and clay have been mixed together, although they do not unite in their substance, foreshadows the future mixtures of the human race, which alternately quarrels among itself because the Roman territory has been occupied by foreign or rebellious peoples, or is handed over to those peoples who seem to have surrendered themselves [to the Romans] under the guise of peace. We have to see mixed barbarian nations, among them especially Jews, who live among us, in our armies, our cities and provinces, yet do not adopt our customs. And the prophets declare that these events will be the last ones |
