Re:	Modes of crossing Rubicon

P. Devlin, The Judge (Oxford, OUP, 1979), p. 12: "It is facile to think that it is always better to throw off disguises. The need for disguise hampers activity and so restricts the power. Paddling across the Rubicon by individuals in disguise who will be sent back if they proclaim themselves is very different from the bridging of the river by an army in uniform and with bands playing."

Thanks to Peter Birks.
