A motion was next brought forward in the Senate by Quintilianus,
a tribune of the people, respecting an alleged book of the Sibyl. Caninius
Gallus, a member of the College of the Fifteen, had asked that it might be
received among the other volumes of the same prophetess by a decree on the
subject. This having been carried by a division, the emperor sent a letter
in which he gently censured the tribune, as ignorant of ancient usage
because of his youth. Gallus he scolded for having introdu The same regulations too had been made by our ancestors

And so died
Tiberius, in the seventy-eighth year of his age. Nero was his father, and he
was on both sides descended from the Claudian house, though his mother
passed by adoption, first into the Livian, then into the Julian family. From
earliest infancy, perilous vicissitudes were his lot. Himself an exile, he
was the companion of a proscribed father, and on being admitted as a stepson
into the house of Augustus, he had to struggle with many rivals, so long as
Marcellus and Agrippa and, subsequently, Caius and Lucius Cæsar were
in their glory. Again his brother Drusus enjoyed in a greater degree the
affection of the citizens. But he was more than ever on dangerous ground
after his marriage with Julia, whether he tolerated or escaped from his
wife's profligacy. On his return from Rhodes he ruled the emperor's now heirless house for twelve years, and the Roman
world, with absolute sway, for about twenty-three. His character too had its
distinct periods. It was a bright time

There are various popular accounts of the ambitious and
vainglorious efforts of our kings in this matter. Still, I think, it is
interesting to know accurately the original plan of the precinct, as it was
fixed by Romulus. From the ox market, where we see the brazen statue of a
bull, because

animal is yoked to the plough, a furrow was drawn to mark out the town, so
as to embrace the great altar of Hercules; then, at regular intervals,
stones were placed along the foot of the Palatine hill to the altar of
Consus, soon afterwards, to the old Courts, and then to the chapel of
Larunda. The Roman forum and the Capitol were not, it was supposed, added to
the city by Romulus, but by Titus Tatius. In time, the precinct was enlarged
with the growth of Rome's fortunes. The boundaries now fixed by Claudius may
be easily recognized, as they are specified in the public record

However, the emperor received formal thanks, and still more elaborate
flattery was paid to Domitius. A law was passed, adopting him into the
Claudian family with the name of Nero. Agrippina too was honoured with the
title of Augusta. When this had been done, there was not a person so void of
pity as not to feel keen sorrow at the position of Britannicus. Gradually
forsaken by the very slaves who waited on him, he turned into ridicule the
ill-timed attentions of his stepmother, perceiving their insincerity. For he
is said to have had by no means a dull understanding; and this is either a
fact, or perhaps his perils won him sympathy,
and so he possessed
the credit of it, without actual evidence.

pursuits and the reputation of an
orator, he advocated the cause of the people of Ilium, and having eloquently recounted how Rome was the offspring of Troy,
and Æneas the founder of the Julian line, with other old traditions
akin to myths, he gained for his clients exemption from all public burdens.
His pleading too procured for the colony of Bononia,
which had been ruined by a fire, a subvention of ten million sesterces. The
Rhodians also had their freedom restored to them, which had often been taken
away, or confirmed, according to their services to us in our foreign wars,
or their seditious misdeeds at home. Apamea, too,
which had been shaken by an earthquake, had its tribute remitted for five

A comet meantime blazed in
the sky, which in popular opinion always portends revolution to kingdoms. So
people began to ask, as if Nero was already dethroned, who was to be
elected. In every one's mouth was the name of Rubellius Blandus, who
inherited through his mother the high nobility

of the Julian family. He was himself attached to
the ideas of our ancestors; his manners were austere, his home was one of
purity and seclusion, and the more he lived in retirement from fear, the
more fame did he acquire. Popular talk was confirmed by an interpretation
put with similar credulity on a flash of lightning. While Nero was reclining
at dinner in his house named Sublaqueum on the Simbruine lake, the table with the banquet was struck
and shattered, and as this happened close to Tibur,
from which town Plautus derived his origin on his father's side, people
believed him to be the man marked out by divine providence; and he was
