He also made several other alterations in the
management of public affairs, among which were these
following: that the acts of the senate should not be published;Julius Caesar had introduced the contrary practice. See JULIUS,
c. XX. that the magistrates should not be sent into the
provinces immediately after the expiration of their office;
that the proconsuls should have a certain sum assigned
them out of the treasury for mules and tents, which used
before to be contracted for by the government with private persons; that the management of the treasury
should be transferred from the city-quaestors to the praetors, or those who had already served in the latter office;
and that the decemviri should call together the court of
One hundred, which had been formerly summoned by
those who had filled the office of quaestor.

Remarks on Augustus
OCTAVIUS Caesar, afterwards Augustus, had now attained to the same
position in the state which had formerly been occupied by Julius Caesar;
and though he entered upon it by violence, he continued to enjoy it
through life with almost uninterrupted tranquillity. By the long duration of the late civil war, with its concomitant train of public calami-
ties, the minds of men were become less averse to the prospect of an
absolute government; at the same time that the new emperor, naturally
prudent and politic, had learned from the fate of Julius the art of preserving supreme power, without arrogating to himself any invidious
mark of distinction. He affected to decline public honours, disclaimed
every idea of personal superiority, and in all his behaviour displayed
a degree of moderation which prognosticated the most happy effects,
in restoring peace and prosperity to the harassed empire. The tenor
of his future conduct was suitable to this auspicious commencement.
While
By the favour of these three princes, he was not only advanced to the great offices of the state, but to the highest dignities of the sacred order; after which he held the proconsulship of Africa, and had the superintendence of the public works, in which appointment his conduct, and, consequently, his reputation, were very different.
For he governed the province with singular integrity during two years, in the latter of which he acted as deputy to his brother, who succeeded him.
But in his office in the city, he was said to pillage the temples of their gifts and ornaments, and to have exchanged brass and tin for gold and silver.
Julius Casar, also, was said to have exchanged brass for gold in the Capitol, JULIUS, c. liv. The tin which we here find in use at Rome, was probably brought from the Cassiterides, now the Scilly islands, whence it had been an article of commerce by the Phoenicians and Carthaginians from a very early period.
