Named from a torque won or a raven-companion. 1.602. Pompey the Great, your name reflects your deeds 1.603. But he who defeated you was greater still. 1.604. No surname ranks higher than that of the Fabii 1.605. Their family was called Greatest for their services. 1.606. Yet these are human honours bestowed on all. 1.607. Augustus alone has a name that ranks with great Jove. 1.608. Sacred things are called august by the senators 1.609. And so are temples duly dedicated by priestly hands. 1.610. From the same root comes the word augury 1.611. And Jupiter augments things by his power. 1.612. May he augment our leader’s empire and his years 1.613.

He had vowed it as a youth, when dutifully taking arms: 5.572. With such deeds a Prince begins his reign. 5.573. Loyal troops standing here, conspirators over there 5.574. He stretched his hand out, and spoke these words: 5.575. ‘If the death of my ‘father’ Julius, priest of Vesta 5.576. Gives due cause for this war, if I avenge for both 5.577. Come, Mars, and stain the sword with evil blood 5.578. And lend your favour to the better side. You’ll gain 5.663. Tiber spoke, entering a moist cave of natural stone 5.664. While you, gentle waters, checked your flow. 5.665. Come, Mercury, Atlas’ famous grandson, you whom 5.666. A Pleiad once bore to Jove, among the Arcadian hills 5.667. Arbiter of war and peace to gods on high, and those below: 5.668. You who make your way with winged feet: who delight 5.669. In the sounding lyre, and the gleaming wrestling: 5.670. You through whose teaching the tongue learnt eloquence: 5.671. On the Ides, the Senate founded for you, a temple facing 5.672. The Circus: since then today has been your festival. 5.673.

It’s potent, if you believe those who’ve tried it. 5.677. Here the merchant, cleansed, with his tunic girt 5.678. Draws water and carries it off, in a purified jar. 5.681. And he sprinkles his hair with dripping laurel too 5.682. And with that voice, that often deceives, utters prayers: 5.683. ‘Wash away all the lies of the past,’ he says 5.684. ‘Wash away all the perjured words of a day that’s gone. 5.685. If I’ve called on you as witness, and falsely invoked 5.686. Jove’s great power, hoping he wouldn’t hear: 5.687. If I’ve knowingly taken the names of gods and goddesses 5.688. In vain: let the swift southerlies steal my sinful words 5.689. And leave the day clear for me, for further perjuries 5.690. And let the gods above fail to notice I’ve uttered any. 5.691. Just grant me my profit, give me joy of the profit I’ve made: 5.692. And make sure I’ll have the pleasure of cheating a buyer.’ 6.227. ‘Till the calm Tiber carries the sweepings from the shrine 6.228. of Ilian Vesta, on its yellow waves to the sea 6.455. Now sacred flames you shine brightly under Caesar’s rule: 6.456. The fire on the Ilian hearths is there, and will remain

49.15.5.  But this was mere idle talk. The people at this time resolved that a house should be presented to Caesar at public expense; for he had made public property of the place on the Palatine which he had bought for the purpose of erecting a residence upon it, and had consecrated it to Apollo, after a thunderbolt had descended upon it. Hence they voted him the house and also protection from any insult by deed or word; 51.22.3.  for many of these spoils were placed in it also; and others were dedicated to Jupiter Capitolinus and to Juno and Minerva, after all the objects in these temples which were supposed to have been placed there previously as dedications, or were actually dedications, had by decree been taken down at this time as defiled. Thus Cleopatra, though defeated and captured, was nevertheless glorified, inasmuch as her adornments repose as dedications in our temples and she herself is seen in gold in the shrine of Venus. 54.27.3.  That measure, therefore, now failed of passage, and he also received no official residence; but, inasmuch as it was absolutely necessary that the high priest should live in a public residence, he made a part of his own house public property. The house of the rex sacrificulus, however, he gave to the Vestal Virgins, because it was separated merely by a wall from their apartments.
