[-12-] The bodies of Lucius and of Gaius were brought to Rome by the
military tribunes and by the chief men of each city. The targes and the
golden spears which they had received from the knights on entering the
class of iuvenes were set up in the senate-house.

Augustus was once called "master" by the people, but he not only forbade
that any one should use this form of address to him but took very good
care in every way to enforce his command.

[A.D. 3 (_a. u._ 756)]

When his third ten-year period had been accomplished, he then accepted
the rulership for the fourth time,--of course under compulsion! He had
become milder through age and more hesitating in regard to offending any
of the senators and now wished to have no differences with any of them.

For lending for three years to such as needed it fifteen hundred
myriads of denarii, without interest, he was praised and reverenced
by all.

Once, when a fire destroyed the palace, and many persons offered him
large amounts, he would take nothing except an aureus from the various
peoples and a denarius from single individuals. The name _aureus_, which
I give here, is a local term for a piece of money worth twenty-five

contributions made by the people or because he was high priest and wished
to live in a building both private and public.

water before she should be brought back. And the populace did throw a
good deal of fire into the Tiber. For the time being they accomplished
nothing, but later they brought such pressure to bear that she was at
last moved from the island to the mainland.

And later the outbreak of war with the Celtae found Augustus worn
out in body (by reason of old age and sickness) and incapable of taking
the field. Yielding, then, partly to the requirements of the situation
and partly to the persuasions of Julia[10] (who had already been restored
from banishment)
he both adopted Tiberius and sent him out[11] against the Celtae, granting
him the tribunician authority for ten years.

Yet suspecting that he might lose his head and fearing a possible
