Usage examples of "aetius".

Marcus had told her that Aetius had served in the field army, and had spent four years in Europe under the command of Constantius, a British military commander who had taken his army over the ocean so that he could make a play for the imperial purple itself.

But when she asked about his adventures Aetius just looked at her, his pale gray eyes sunken and dark.

So it was that while Aetius was the first to reach Julia, his daughter, Regina found Marcus, her father.

Still, she had no idea exactly where the site of the family villa was: she had left at age seven, after all, and there was nobody left alive, Carta or Aetius, who might know.

It was all as Aetius and Carausias had once foreseen, that once people stopped paying their taxes, the towns had no purpose, and had fallen in on themselves.

When Aetius saw the number of boxes and trunks that lay open around her room, he growled and began to pull out clothes and toys.

She was going to ride in front, with Aetius, so she could see everywhere she went.

She bounced in her seat, until Aetius, horse switch in hand, told her to stop.

As Aetius and the others jumped down and began to unload, Regina stood up on her seat, stretched and massaged a sore rump, and looked around.

It even had a small bathhouse, where Aetius retired with a pitcher of wine and a plate of oysters, bought for a price that made him groan out loud.

She did want to go see if there were any grapes, but Aetius ignored her pleas.

But at seven she was an experienced enough student to know that while Aetius might be a fine soldier he was no teacher.

When the storm finally let up she pushed away from Aetius and jumped down from the carriage.

In the roadside dirt Aetius sketched a map of the island of Britain, and slashed a line from southeast to northeast, from the Severn to the Humber.

Shall I ever forget that rainy day in Lyons, that dingy bookshop, where I found the Aetius, long missing from my Artis bledicae Principes, and where I bought for a small pecuniary consideration, though it was marked rare, and was really tres rare, the Aphorisms of Hippocrates, edited by and with a preface from the hand of Francis Rabelais?
