But particularly, The train, procession, march, progress of an army: de castris, de agminibus, etc., dicere, Cic. de Or. 1, 48, 210: ne miles gregarius in castris, neve in agmine servum aut jumentum haberet, Sall.

Judith, 15, 4 al. Transf., concr., an army, and properly considered as in motion, on the march (while exercitus is a disciplined army, and acies an army in battle-array)
As soon as the signal for marching was given, the Extraordinarii and the allies of the right wing, with their baggage, first put themselves in motion, then the legions, and last the allies of the left wing, with a part of the cavalry, which either rode behind the army, ad agmen claudendum or cogendum. to close the train, i. e. to keep it to gether or on the side in such an order (composito agmine, non itineri magis apto quam proelio) that it might be easily put into the line of battle, if the enemy ven tured to attack it; cf. Sall. J. 46, 6.
An army in close ranks was called agmen justum, Tac. H. 1, 68, or agmen pilatum, Serv. ad Verg. A. 12, 121
When there was no apprehension of the enemy, less care was taken for the protection of the army: agmine incauto, i. e. minus munito, ut inter pacatos, ducebat, sc. consul, Liv. 35, 4.
The order of march was, however, different, according to circumstances and the nature of the ground, Liv. 35, 4; 27, 28; and cf. Smith's Antiq.
Sometimes the army marched in the form of a square, agmen quadratum, with their baggage in the middle, so as to be in battle-array on meeting the enemy; hence agmen quadratum often means the same as acies triplex, an army formed in line of battle, only that the former indicates that they are on the march, and the latter that they are at rest.
Hence, like acies, with the epithet primum, the vanguard, Liv. 34, 28; Tac. Agr. 35: medium, the centre, Liv. 10, 41; Tac. H. 4, 22: extremum, Liv. 34, 28; Tac. H. 2, 100; or, novissimum, the rear, rearguard, Liv. 44, 33; so, extremi agminis, Vulg. Deut. 25, 18: ut inde agmine quadratc ad urbem accederet, marching in a square, Cic. Phil. 13, 8: pariter atque in conspectu hostium quadrato agmine incedere, Sall. J 100, 1; cf. id. ib. 46, 6, 7: Hannibal agmine quadrato amnem ingressus, Liv. 21, 5; se id. 31, 36; 37, 39: quadrato agmine velut in aciem irent, Curt. 5, 1, 19 al.
Sometimes, esp. in the poets in the plur., in gen. sense, = exercitus or copiae, an army, host, troops: huic tanto agmini dux defuit, Just. 12, 10: occidit Daci Cotisonis agmen, Hor. C. 3, 8, 18: agmina curru Proterit, Verg. A. 12, 329: barbarorum Claudius agmina diruit, Hor. C. 4, 14, 29; so id. S. 2, 1, 14; id. Epod. 17, 9; Ov. M. 3, 535; 5, 151, 161; 6, 423: Del agminum Israël, Vulg. 1 Reg. 17, 45: agmina ejus dispergam, ib. Ezech. 12, 14; 38, 6.
For military service, warfare: rudis agminum Sponsus, Hor. C. 3, 2, 9. Trop. An army, troop, band, multitude: educenda dictio est ex hac domesticā exercitatione et umbratili medium in agmen, in pulverem, in clamorem, in castra, aciemque forensem, i. e. before the public, Cic. de Or. 1, 34, 157: e Brundisio usque Romam agmen perpetuum totius Italiae, an unbroken train, id. Pis. 22, 51: ingens mulierum agmen, Liv. 2, 40; 9, 17: agmina Eumenidum, Verg. A. 4, 469; 6, 572: agmina comitum, Ov. Tr. 14, 30: in angusto fidus comes agmine turbae, Tib. 1, 5, 63: numerosum agmen reorum, Plin. Ep. 3, 9: agmen occupationum, an army of, id. ib. 2, 8. March, movement: agmina fati et volumina, Gell. 6, 2, 5.

Metaph., Of adopted children, to accrue by adoption: qui in adoptionem datur, his, quibus agnascitur, cognatus fit, Paul. Dig. 1, 7, 23; cf. id. ib. 1, 7, 10. Of plants, to grow to, at, or upon something: viscum in quercu adgnasci, Plin. 16, 44, 93, § 245; 27, 11, 73, § 97. Of teeth, to grow afterwards, Gell. 3, 10.

Hence, agnā-tus (adg-), a, um, P. a. Lit., born to, belonging to, or connected with by birth; and subst., a blood relation by the father's side (father, son, grandson, etc.; brother, brother's son, brother's grandson, etc.; uncle, cousin, second cousin, etc.); accordingly of more limited signif. than cognatus, which includes blood relations on the mother's side; the idea in gentilis is still more extended, including all the persons belonging to a gens, and bearing the same gentile name, e. g. the Cornelii, Fabii, Aemilii, etc., v. Smith's Dict. Antiq.; Gai Inst. 1, 156; Ulp. 26, 1, 10, § 2; cf. Zimmern, Röm. Priv. Rechtsgesch. 1, 507 sq.

Hence, the proverb: ad adgnatos et gentiles est deducendus, for a madman or insane person, Varr. R. R. 1, 2, 8. Ag-nāti, orum, subst., children born after the father has made his will (cf. I. A.): numerum liberorum finire aut quemquam ex adgnatis necare flagitium habetur, Tac. G. 19; id. H. 5, 5.

A recognition, acknowledgment, admission, acceptance: admissio: bonorum possessionis, Dig. 38, 15, 5 (cf. agnosco, II.); a recognizing: cadaveris, Plin. 10, 70, 90, § 194: nullus interesset alienus agnitioni mutuae, Vulg.

Prisc. p. 887 P.; part. fut. act. agnoturus, Sall. H. Fragm. 2, 31; cf. Diom. 383 P.; class.; used very freq. by Cicero). As if to know a person or thing well, as having known it before, to recognize: agnoscere always denotes a subjective knowledge or recognition; while cognoscere designates an objective perception; another distinction v. in II.): in turbā Oresti cognitā agnota est soror, was recognized by Orestes as his sister, Pac. ap. Prisc. 887 P.: virtus cum se extollit et ostendit suum lumen et idem aspexit agnovitque in alio, and when she has perceived the same in another, and has recognized it, Cic.

Trop.: egit sol hiemem sub terras, Verg. G. 4, 51: poëmata dulcia sunto Et quocumque volent animum auditoris agunto, lead the mind, Hor. A. P. 100.
Hence, poet.: se agere, to betake one's self, i. e. to go, to come (in Plaut. very freq.; also in Ter., Verg., etc.): quo agis te? where are you going? Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 294: unde agis te? id.

To drive or carry off (animals or men), to steal, rob, plunder (usually abigere): Et redigunt actos in sua rura boves, Ov. F. 3, 64.
So esp. freq. of men or animals taken as booty in war, while ferre is used of portable things; hence, ferre et agere (as in Gr. ἄγειν καὶ φέρειν, Hom. Il. 5, 484; and reversed, φέρειν καὶ ἄγειν, in Hdt. and Xen.; cf.: rapiunt feruntque, Verg. A. 2, 374: rapere et auferre, Cic. Off. 1, 14), in gen., to rob, to plunder: res sociorum ferri agique vidit, Liv. 22, 3: ut ferri agique res suas viderunt, id. 38, 15; so id. 3, 37; so also: rapere agereque: ut ex alieno agro raperent agerentque, Liv. 22, 1, 2; but portari atque agi means to bear and carry, to bring together, in Caes. B. C. 2, 29 (as φέρειν καὶ ἄγειν in Plat. Phaedr. 279C,): ne pulcram praedam agat, Plaut. Aul. 4, 2, 3: urbes, agros vastare, praedas agere, Sall. J. 20, 8; 32, 3: pecoris et mancipiorum praedas, id. ib. 44, 5; so eccl. Lat.: agere praedas de aliquo, Vulg. Jud. 9, 16; ib. 1 Reg. 27, 8; cf. Gron. Obs. 3, 22, 633.

H. 5, 20: feros tauros, Suet. Claud. 21. Of men: ceteros ruerem, agerem, Ter. Ad. 3, 2, 21 (= prosequerer, premerem, Don.): ita perterritos egerunt, ut, etc., Caes. B. G. 4, 12: Demoleos cursu palantis Troas agebat, Verg. A. 5, 265; cf. id. ib. 1, 574: aliquem in exsilium, Liv. 25, 2; so Just. 2, 9, 6; 16, 4, 4; 17, 3, 17; 22, 1, 16 al.: aliquem in fugam, id. 16, 2, 3.

Off. 3, 23, 90: egisse huc Alpheum vias, made its way, Verg. A. 3, 695: vix leni et tranquillo mari moles agi possunt, carry, build out, Curt. 4, 2, 8: cloacam maximam sub terram agendam, to be carried under ground, Liv. 1, 56; so often in the histt., esp. Cæs. and Livy, as t. t., of moving forwards the battering engines: celeriter vineis ad oppidum actis, pushed forwards, up, Caes. B. G. 2, 12 Herz.; so id. ib. 3, 21; 7, 17; id. B. C. 2, 1; Liv. 8, 16: accelerant acta pariter testudine Volsci, Verg. A. 9, 505 al.: fugere colles campique videntur, quos agimus praeter navem, i. e. praeter quos agimus navem, Lucr. 4, 391: in litus passim naves egerunt, drove the ships ashore, Liv. 22, 19: ratem in amnem, Ov. F. 1, 500: naves in advorsum amnem, Tac. H. 4, 22.
Poet.: agere navem, to steer or direct a ship, Hor. Ep. 2, 1, 114; so, agere currum, to drive a chariot, Ov. M. 2, 62; 2, 388 al. To stir up, to throw out, excite, cause, bring forth (mostly poet.): scintillasque agere ac late differre favillam, to throw out sparks and scatter ashes far around, Lucr. 2, 675: spumas ore, Verg.

Hence, animam agere, to expel the breath of life, give up the ghost, expire: agens animam spumat, Lucr. 3, 493: anhelans vaga vadit, animam agens, Cat. 63, 31: nam et agere animam et efflare dicimus, Cic. Tusc. 1, 9, 19: Hortensius, cum has litteras scripsi, animam agebat, id. Fam. 8, 13, 2; so Cael. ap. Cic. Fam. 8, 13: eodem tempore et gestum et animam ageres, Cic. Rosc. Com. 8: Est tanti habere animam ut agam? Sen. Ep. 101, 12; and with a play upon words: semper agis causas et res agis, Attale, semper. Est, non est, quod agas, Attale, semper agis. Si res et causae desunt, agis, Attale, mulas; Attale, ne quod agas desit, agas animam, Mart. 1, 80. Of plants, to put forth or out, to shoot, extend: (salices) gemmas agunt, Varr. R. R. 1, 30: florem agere coeperit ficus, Col. R. R. 5, 10, 10: frondem agere, Plin. 18, 6, 8, § 45: se ad auras palmes agit, Verg.

Metaph.: vera gloria radices agit, Cic. Off. 2, 12, 43: pluma in cutem radices egerat imas, Ov. M. 2, 582. Trop. Spec., to guide, govern: Tros Tyriusque mihi nullo discrimine agetur, Verg. A. 1, 574; cf. Forbig. ad h. 1., who considers it the only instance of this use, and compares a similar use of ἄγω; v. L. and S. s. v. II. 2.

S. 2, 7, 24: una plăga ceteros ad certamen egit, Liv. 9, 41; 8, 7; 39, 15: quae te, germane, furentem Mens agit in facinus? Ov.

Att. 9, 1 Brem.: opportunitas, quae etiam mediocres viros spe praedae transvorsos agit, i. e. leads astray, Sall. J. 6, 3; 14, 20; so Sen. Ep. 8, 3.
To pursue with hostile intent, to persecute, disturb, vex, to attack, assail (for the usu. agitare; mostly poet.): reginam Alecto stimulis agit undique Bacchi, Verg. A. 7, 405: non res et agentia (i. e. agitantia, vexantia) verba Lycamben, Hor. Ep. 1, 19, 25: acerba fata Romanos agunt, id. Epod 7, 17: diris agam vos, id. ib. 5, 89: quam deus ultor agebat, Ov. M. 14, 750: futurae mortis agor stimulis, Luc. 4, 517; cf. Matth. ad Cic. Mur. § 21. To drive at something, to pursue a course of action, i. e. to make something an object of action; either in the most general sense, like the Engl. do and the Gr. πράττειν, for every kind of mental or physical employment; or, in a more restricted sense, to exhibit in external action, to act or perform, to deliver or pronounce, etc., so that after the act is completed nothing remains permanent, e. g. a speech, dance, play, etc. (while facere, to make, ποιεῖν, denotes the production of an object which continues to exist after the act is completed; and gerere, the performance of the duties of an office or calling).
On these significations, v. Varr. 6, 6, 62, and 6, 7, 64, and 6, 8, 72.
For the more restricted signif. v. Quint. 2, 18, 1 sq.; cf. Manut. ad Cic. Fam. 7, 12; Hab. Syn. 426. In the most gen. signif., to do, act, labor, in opp. to rest or idleness.

So also in prose (very rarely): Mittite agedum, Liv. 38, 47: procedat agedum ad pugnam, id. 7, 9. It is often separated from such verb: age me huc adspice, Plaut. Am. 2, 2, 118; id.
