[53]
At this time died Antiochus, the king of Commagene; whereupon the
multitude contended with the nobility, and both sent ambassadors to [Rome];
for the men of power were desirous that their form of government might
be changed into that of a [Roman] province; as were the multitude desirous
to be under kings, as their fathers had been. So the senate made a decree
that Germanicus should be sent to settle the affairs of the East, fortune
hereby taking a proper opportunity for depriving him of his life; for when
he had been in the East, and settled all affairs there, his life was taken
away by the poison which Piso gave him, as hath been related elsewhere.
