Late one evening in a marshy wood not far from the Rhine, between the fortified post, _Tres Tabernae_ and the Roman town of Argentoratum,[1] conquered a short time previously by the _Alemanni_, two soldiers who had lost their way were slouching along. One named Aragaris, an awkward and red-headed giant, a Sarmatian in the Roman service; the other Strombix, a lean and frowning little Syrian.
