A. U. C. 821 -- A. D. 69.
upon the same day on which he had formerly put Octavia to death; and the public joy was so great upon the occasion, that the common people ran about the city with caps upon their heads.
Some, however, were not wanting, who for a long time decked his tomb with spring and summer flowers.
Sometimes they placed his image upon the rostra, dressed in robes of state; at another, they published proclamations in his name, as if he were still alive, and would shortly return to Rome, and take vengeance on all his enemies.
Vologesus, king of the Parthians, when he sent ambassadors to the senate to renew his alliance with the Roman people, earnestly requested that due honour should be paid to the memory of Nero; and, to conclude, when, twenty years afterwards, at which time I was a young man,

In the course of the following year (A. D. 69), a dreadful misfortune happened in his family, and proved to him a severe stroke of affliction.
A descent, from Otho's fleet, which roved about in quest of depredation, was made on the coast of Liguria.
The freebooters plundered the city of Intemelium, and in their fury, murdered Agricola's mother, then residing upon her own estate.
They laid waste her lands, and went off with a considerable booty.
Agricola set out immediately to pay the last tribute of filial piety, and being informed on his way, that Vespasian aspired to the imperial dignity, he declared at once in favour of that party.
In the beginning of the new reign, the government of Rome, and the whole administration, centred in Mucianus, Dornitian being, at that
time, too young for business, and from the elevation of his father claiming no other privilege than that of being debauched and profligate without control.
Agricola was despatched to raise new levies. He executed that com

mentioned only in Not. in Region I. It was perhaps
built by M. Vettius Bolanus, consul some time before 69 A.D., whose
interest in real estate and building is shown by the fact that he owned
an insula in Trastevere, and restored a shrine to the Bona Dea (CIL vi.
65-67).The lettering of these inscriptions is against the attribution to his son, consul ordinarius
in 111 A.D.; see Pros. iii. 411. 323 3234. The date is given as 116 A.D., in CIL cit. and as
110 in HJ 640; but see CIL vi. 222, 691.
BONA DEA
a shrine of Bona Dea, which stood a little north
of the present
church of S. Cecilia in Trastevere, known only from
certain inscriptions
found in the neighbourhood. One (CIL vi. 65) records the
restoration of
a sacrum Bonae Deae by M. Vettius Bolanus. consul c.
69 A.D. (cf.
BALINEUM BOLANI); another (67) the erection of a
simulacrum in
tutelam insulae Bolani, and the gift of an aedes to Bona
Dea restituta
or restitutrix, by a certain Cladus who also made another
present of
some kind to the goddess (CIL vi. 66). Nothing further is
known of
this shrine (cf. CIL vi. 75; BC 1905, 349; NS 1905, 270;
HJ
639-640; RE iii. 690; Gilb. ii. 177; iii. 445).
