Festus Adrumeto, ubi speculabundus substiterat, ad legionem contendit praefectumque castrorum Caetronium Pisanum vinciri iussit proprias ob simultates, sed Pisonis satellitem vocabat, militesque et centuriones quosdam puniit, alios praemiis adfecit, neutrum ex merito, sed ut oppressisse bellum crederetur.
From Adrumetum, Festus hastened to the legion where he had been eagerly observing the unfolding events. He gave orders for the arrest of the camp's prefect, Caetronius Pisanus, out of personal animosity; he accused him of being a follower of Piso. He meted out punishment to some soldiers and centurions while rewarding others; neither of these actions was based on merit but solely on his desire to project an image of victorious conqueror of the rebellion.
