Of this they are impatient; they are reduced to subjection, not as yet to
slavery The deified Julius, the very first Roman who entered Britain with an army, though by a successful engagement
he struck terror into the inhabitants and gained possession of the coast,
must be regarded as having indicated rather than transmitted the acquisition
to future generations. Then came the civil wars, and the arms of our leaders
were turned against their country, and even when there was peace, there was
a long neglect of Britain. This Augustus spoke of as
policy, Tiberius as an inherited maxim. That Caius Cæsar meditated an
invasion of Britain is perfectly clear, but his
purposes, rapidly formed, were easily changed, and his vast attempts on Germany had failed. Claudius was the first to renew the
attempt, and conv

It was
the day after Curiatius Maternus had given a reading of his Cato, by which
it was said that he had irritated the feelings of certain great personages,
because in the subject of his tragedy he had apparently forgotten himself
and thought only of Cato. While all Rome was
discussing the subject, he received a visit from Marcus Aper and Julius
Secundus, then the most famous men of genius at our bar. Of both I
was a studious hearer in court, and I also would follow them to their homes
and when they appeared in public, from a singular zeal for my profession,
and a youthful enthusiasm which urged me to listen diligently to their
trivial talk, their more serious debates, and their private and esoteric
descourse. Yet many ill-naturedly thought that Secundus had no readiness of
speech, and that Aper had won his reputation for eloquence by his cleverness
and natural powers, more than by training and culture. As a fact, Secundus
had a pure, terse, and a sufficiently fluent sty

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following: that the acts of the senate should not be published;Julius Caesar had introduced the contrary practice.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.
