1. Cassius would either have had to traverse uninterruptedly mountainous country, as he followed the coast, or to go far inland, approximately to the line of the modern railway to Saloniki, as Philip planned for the Bastarnae; but these would have been aided by friendly tribes, whereas Cassius would have been beyond aid. The Romans had always used the short sea-route from Brundisium to Illyricum and Greece, little as they liked seafaring.

2. The most recent threat from this direction had been in 186- 183 B.C. , cf. XXXIX. xxii. 6, xlv. 6-7, liv, though the Transalpine Gauls who had moved in near Aquileia had acted peaceably enough. Cf. the plans of Philip for an invasion of Italy by the Bastarnae, XL. lvii.
