NOW when Caius had reigned three year's and eight months, and had
been slain by treachery, Claudius was hurried away by the armies that were
at Rome to take the government upon him; but the senate, upon the reference
of the consuls, Sentis Saturninns, and Pomponins Secundus, gave orders
to the three regiments of soldiers that staid with them to keep the city
quiet, and went up into the capitol in great numbers, and resolved to oppose
Claudius by force, on account of the barbarous treatment they had met with
from Caius; and they determined either to settle the nation under an aristocracy,
as they had of old been governed, or at least to choose by vote such a
one for emperor as might be worthy of it.
