A curious coincidence of circumstances is related by Livy, the
   Roman historian:  he writes that "when three ambassadors were
   sent from Rome to complain of the perfidious conduct of the
   (9271)ui, the General informed them, that they might deliver their
   message to an oak which shaded his tent."  On this one of the
   ambassadors turning away, said, "This venerable oak, and all
   the gods, shall know that you have violated the peace; they
   shall now hear our complaints; and may they also soon be
   witnesses, when we revenge with our arms the violation of
   divine and human rights."  It is worthy of remark that Joshua
   merely set up a pillar under an oak,--the one, perhaps, to
   protect the other; while the General directed the ambassadors
   to address the oak, perhaps with an idolatrous feeling that
   they were addressing one of the gods, who would aid his cause;
   while the Roman ambassadors caught the feeling, and really
   invoked the aid of the oak and the gods.
