in Germania, in castris Drusi examen apium in tabernaculo Hostilii Rufi, praefecti castrorum, consedit ita, ut funem praetendentem praefixamque tentorio lanceam amplecteretur. multitudo Romanorum per insidias subiecta est. In Germany, in the camp of Drusus a swarm of bees settled on the tent of Hostilius Rufus, prefect of the camp, like this that it covered the rope that extended in front of the tent and the lance fixed before the canvas shelter. A vast number of Romans was defeated because of an ambush.
