' A celebrated Roman general, who was successively governor of 

 Numidia and Britain, where he defeated Queen Boadicea. He was a 

 supporter of the Emperor Otho, but afterv^arda obtained a pardon from 

 Vitellius on the plea that he had betrayed Otho at the battle of Bedri- 

 acum, and so contributed to his defeat ; which, however, was not the 

 case.

* Brother of Csesonia, the wife of Caligula, and father of Domitia 

 Longina, the wife of Doraitian. He was the greatest general of his day, 

 and conquered Tiridates, the powerful king of Parthia. He slew himself 

 at Cenchreffi, A.D. 67, upon hearing that Nero had given orders for his 

 execution. *° See end of B. ii. 



^^ The Roman emperor, grandson of Livia, the wife of Augustus. As 

 an author, the character in which he is here referred to, he occupied him- 

 self chiefly with historj', and was encouraged in the pursuit by Livy the 

 historian. At an early age he began to write a history from the death 

 of the Dictator Csesar, a plan which he afterwards abandoned, and began 

 his work with the restoration of peace, after the battle of Actium. Of 

 the earher period he had written only four books, but the latter work he 

 extended to forty-four. He also wrote memoirs of his own life, which 

 Suetonius describes as written with more sUliness than inelegance. A 

 fourth work was a defence of Cicero against the attacks of Asinius PoUio. 

 He also wrote liistories of Carthage and of Etruria in Greek. All of his 

 literary works have perished. ^2 gee end of B. iii. 



'3 Kotliing whatever is known of this son of T. Livius, the great 

 Roman historian. It is not improbable that the transcribers have com- 

 mitted an error in inserting the word Jilio, and that the historian himself 

 is the person meant. " See end of B. ii. 



^5 "Acta Triumphorum" probably mean the registers kept in the 

 Capitol, in which were inscribed the names of those who were honoured 

 with triumphs, and the decrees of the senate or the people in their 

 favour. This register must not be confounded with the "Tabidse 

 Consulares."
