Cornelius Tacitus, The Annals (ed. Alfred John Church, William Jackson Brodribb), BOOK II, chapter 41 (search)
At the close of the year was consecrated an arch near the temple
of Saturn to commemorate the recovery of the standards lost with Varus,
under the leadership of Germanicus and the auspices of Tiberius; a temple of
Fors Fortuna,
by the Tiber, in the gardens
which Cæsar, the dictator, bequeathed to the Roman people; a chapel to
the Julian family, and statues at Bovillæ; to the Divine Augustus.
In the consulship of Caius Cæcilius and Lucius Pomponius,
Germanicus Cæsar, on the 26th day of May, celebrated his triumph over
the Cherusci, Chatti, and Angrivarii, and the other tribes which extend as
far as the Elbe. There were borne in procession
spoils, prisoners, representations of the mountains, the rivers and battles;
and the war, seeing that he had been forbidden to finish it, was taken as
finished. The admiration of the beholders was heightened by the striking
comeliness of the general and the chariot which bore his five children.
Still, there was a latent dread when they

Meantime the law of treason was gaining strength. Appuleia
Varilia, grand-niece of Augustus, was accused of treason by an informer for
having ridiculed the Divine Augustus, Tiberius, and Tiberius's mother, in
some insulting remarks, and for having been convicted of adultery, allied
though she was to Cæsar's house. Adultery, it was thought, was
sufficiently guarded against by the Julian law. As to the charge of treason,
the emperor insisted that it should be taken separately, and that she should
be condemned if she had spoken irreverently of Augustus. Her insinuations
against himself he did not wish to be the subject of judicial inquiry. When
asked by the consul what he thought of the unfavourable speeches she was
accused of having uttered against his
mother, he said nothing.
Afterwards, on the next day of the Senate's meeting, he even begged in his
mother's name that no words of any kind spoken against her might in any case
be treated as criminal. He then acquitted Appule

It was next proposed to relax the Papia
Poppæa law, which Augustus in his old age had passed subsequently to
the Julian statutes, for yet further enforcing the penalties on celibacy and
for enriching the exchequer. And yet, marriages and the rearing of children
did not become more frequent, so powerful were the attractions of a
childless state. Meanwhile there was an increase in the number of persons
imperilled, for every household was undermined by the insinuations of
informers; and now the country suffered from its laws, as it had hitherto
suffered from its vices. This suggests to me a fuller discussion of the
origin of law and of
the methods by which we have arrived at the
present endless multiplicity and variety of our statutes

There was great weeping at these words, and then many
a benediction. Had the emperor set bounds to his speech, he must have filled
the hearts of his hearers with sympathy and admiration. But he now fell back
on those idle and often ridiculed professions about restoring the republic,
and the wish that the consuls or some one else might undertake the
government, and thus destroyed belief even in what was genuine and
noble.
The same honours were decreed to the memory of Drusus as to that
of Germanicus, and many more were added. Such is the way with flattery, when
repeated. The funeral with its procession of statues was singularly grand.
Aeneas, the father of the Julian house, all the Alban kings, Romulus, Rome's
founder, then the Sabine nobility, Attus Clausus, and
the busts
of all the other Claudii were displayed in a long train.
