Note 047
The apparitions of Castor and Pollux, particularly to
announce the Macedonian victory, are attested by historians
and public monuments. See Cicero de Natura Deorum, ii. 2,
iii. 5, 6. Florus, ii. 12 Valerius ASaximus, 1. i. c. 8, No.
1. Yet the most recent of these miracles is omitted, and
indirectlv denied, by Livy (xlv. 1).
