Gesch. , V, p. 23; Gardthausen, I, p. 1066; Jullian, Histoire de la Gaule, Paris, 1914, IV, p. 108. 98 Dio, 54, 20; Veil. , II, 97; Suet. , Aug. , 23. 94 Paul Meyer, Der Triumphzug des Germanicus, p. 85. 231] CRITICISM OP ACCEPTED VIEW 65 decided on the latter. 93 Eduard Meyer finds not only the pro- tection of Gaul but the winning of a shorter and more distant boundary from Italy as reasons for Augustus' wars against Ger- many 96 : ' ' nur gegen die Germanen hat er sich nach der Vollend- ung d...er Organization Galliens zum Kriege entschlossen : der selbe schien notwendig um Gallien zu sichern und womoglich in der Elblinie eine kiirzere und zugleich weiter von Italien abliegende Grenze zu winnen. " So Schiller urges the same rea- sons. 97 Likewise it is Mommsen's view 98 that Augustus' change in policy was necessary to Rome's security; that it is easy to understand how Roman statesmen, who, like the emperor him- self, were opposed to a policy of subjugation, could no longer assume that it was expedient for the empire to halt at the Rhine and on the north slopes of the Alps; that "Great Germany" (so called by the Romans), which forced itself in like a wedge between the Rhine and Danube boundaries, and the Germans on the right of the Rhine, with inevitable boundary strife, were far more dangerous to Roman rule than the blazing torch in Gaul and the zeal of Gallic patriots.
