      Lo spirito di miglioramento avea passato le alpi, e si sentiva perfino nei boschi della Britannia, che a poco a poco venivano scomparendo per dar luogo a comode ed eleganti abitazioni. York era la sede del Governo, Londra già si arricchiva col commercio, e Bath era celebre pel salutare effetto delle medicinali sue acque.

But instead of making a judicious choice, which would have confirmed his reign and endeared his memory, Valerian, consulting only the dictates of affection or vanity, immediately invested with the supreme honours his son Gallienus, a youth whose effeminate vices had been hitherto concealed by the oscurity of a private station. The joint governement of the father and the son subsisted about seven, and the sole administration of Gallienus continued about eight years.
