and Jewish rites, obliging those who practised that kind of superstition, to burn their vestments, and all their sacred utensils.
He distributed the Jewish youths, under the pretence of military service, among the provinces noted for an unhealthy climate; and dismissed from the city all the rest of that nation as well as those who were proselytes to that religion,Similia sectantes. We are strongly inclined to think that the words might be rendered "similar sects," conveying an allusion to the small and obscure body of Christians, who were at this period generally confounded with the Jews, and supposed only to differ from them in some peculiarities of their institutions, which Roman historians and magistrates did not trouble themselves to distinguish. How little even the well-informed Suet
During the whole time of his seclusion at
Capri, twice only he made an effort to visit Rome.
Once he came in a galley as far as the gardens near the Naumachia, but placed guards along the banks of the Tiber, to keep off all who should offer to come to meet him.
The second time he travelled on the Appian way,
So called from Appius Claudius, the Censor, one of Tiberius's ancestors, who constructed it. It took a direction southward from Rome, through Campania to 'Brundusium, starting from what is the present Porta di San Sebastiano, from which the road to Naples takes its departure.

Others threatened his body with the hook and the Gemonian
stairs, their indignation at his former cruelty being increased by a recent atrocity.
It had been provided by an act of the senate, that the execution of condemned criminals should always be deferred until the tenth day after the sentence.
Now this fell on the very day when the news of Tiberius's death arrived, and in consequence of which the unhappy men implored a reprieve, for mercy's sake; but.

Sensible of his being subject to passion and resentment, he excused himself in both instances by a proclamation, assuring the public that " the former should be short and harmless, and the latter never without good cause."
After severely reprimanding the people of Ostia
for not sending some boats to meet him upon his entering the mouth of the Tiber, in terms which might expose them to the public resentment, he wrote to Rome that he had been treated as a private person; yet immediately afterwards he pardoned them, and that in a way which had the appearance of making them satisfaction, or begging pardon for some injury he had done them.
Some people who addressed him unseasonably in public, he pushed away with his own hand.
He likewise banished a person who had been secretary to a quaestor, and even a senator who had filled the office of praetor.
