Ineunt deinde consulatum Silius Nerva et Atticus
Vestinus, coepta simul et aucta coniuratione in quam certatim nomina dederant senatores eques miles, feminae etiam,
cum odio Neronis tum favore in C. Pisonem. is Calpurnio
genere ortus ac multas insignisque familias paterna nobilitate complexus, claro apud vulgum rumore erat per virtutem
aut species virtutibus similis. namque facundiam tuendis
civibus exercebat, largitionem adversum amicos, et ignotis
quoque comi sermone et congressu; aderant etiam fortuita,
corpus procerum, decora facies: sed procul gravitas morum
aut voluptatum parsimonia; levitati ac magnificentiae et aliquando luxu indulgebat, idque pluribus probabatur qui in
tanta vitiorum dulcedine summum imperium non restrictum
nec perseverum volunt.
