Grave men, whose opinion met with little opposition, thought that it was the duty of the Imperator now that Fate had decided against him, and nothing remained save a life sullied by disgrace to put himself to death with his own hand, like Brutus and so many other noble Romans.
Under the emperors, the senate was armed with the power of criminal jurisdiction; and as the senate was the tool of the imperator, he could crush whomsoever he pleased.
Thus he worked and created as never did any mortal before or after him; and as a worker and creator he still, after wellnigh two thousand years, lives in the memory of the nations the first, and withal unique, Imperator Caesar.
