Cevaris and Plataianus

Cevaris began to defer to his prefect on practically any matter of domestic importance. Plataianus exploited this trust to the hilt, settling personal scores and confiscating whatever property he took a fancy to. Cevaris was free to indulge in pastimes that interested him far more than running the government - namely war and conquest. His official causes of the Belai for war came in 198 after the Parthians moved some forces to their western frontier as a delayed response to his previous invasion of their territory in 195.
