Res Gestae Ammianus Marcellinus

Book 22

11.1 At about that same time, that notorious state- secretary Gaudentius, who (as I said before)See xxi. 7, 2. had been sent to Africa by Constantius to oppose Julian there, and also Julianus, a former vice-governor, an intemperate partisan of the same faction, were brought back in chains and punished with death.
11.2 Then, too, Artemius, sometime military commander in Egypt,xvii. 11, 5. since the Alexandrians heaped upon him a mass of atrocious charges, suffered capital punishment. After him the son of Marcellus, at one time commander of the cavalry and infantry,xvi. 2, 7, 8. was publicly executed, on the ground that he had aspired to the throne. Finally, even Romanus and Vincentius, tribunes of the first and the second corps of the targeteers, were convicted of designs beyond their powers and exiled.They were followers of the banished Athanasius, xv. 7, 7 and 10.
11.3 Hardly had a brief time elapsed, when the Alexandrians, on learning of the death of Artemius, whom they dreaded, for fear that he would return with his power restored (for so he had threatened) and do harm to many for the wrong that he had suffered, turned their wrath against the bishop Georgius, who had often, so to speak, made them feel his poisonous fangs.
