Wow! You found the Miracle of XLII. 'Twas in that year...

There happened also at the same time a grand miracle of God's present grace, for Furius Camillus Scribonianus, the governor of Dalmatia, plotted a civil war and won over many of the strongest legions to break their allegiance. Thus, on the day set for their coming together from all sides to the new emperor, their eagles could not be adorned nor the standards in any way pulled up and moved. The army, aroused by such a great and so unusual a true miracle and turned into repentance, abandoned Scribonianus and immediately on the fifth day thereafter, killed him and bound itself by the oath of its former military service. It is well known that nothing more regrettable or more harmful has ever happened to the City of Rome than civil wars. And so let anyone deny that this rising tyranny and that threatening civil war was divinely checked on account of the coming of the Apostle Peter, and tender shoots, as it were, of Christians, still a few in number, breaking forth to proclaim their holy faith.
