The first action of Tiberius was to canonise his father, and Augustus was translated to the banquet of the Gods: Quos inter Augustus recumbens, Purpureo bibit ore nectar. Augustus was his great example; "he not only called him, but considered him, divine;" "non appelavit eum, sed facit Deum."
Publius Sempronius Sophus had vowed this temple ten years before, in the Punic war; and, being afterwards censor, had employed persons to build it. Caius Servilius, duumvir, also dedicated a temple of Jupiter, in the island. This had been vowed in the Gallic war, six years before, by Lucius Furius Purpureo, who afterwards, when consul, contracted for the building.
Two temples were dedicated this year to Jupiter in the Capitol; one of which had been vowed by Lucius Furius Purpureo, when praetor during the Gallic war; the other by the same, when consul. Quintus Marcius Ralla, duumvir, dedicated both. Many severe sentences were passed this year on usurers, who were prosecuted, as private persons, by the curule aediles, Marcus Tuccius and Publius Junius Brutus.
This we shall see when we pass on, as we may now do, to review that system which may be termed 'Evangelicalism' in distinction to the earlier Methodism. Largior hic campos æther et lumine vestit Purpureo....

The praetors then cast lots: to Cneius Sergius Plancus fell the city jurisdiction; to Quintus Fulvius Gillo, Sicily; to Quintus Minucius Rufus, Bruttium; and to Lucius Furius Purpureo, Gaul.

Then were chosen praetors, Quintus Minucius Rufus, Lucius Furius Purpureo, Quintus Fulvius Gillo, Cneius Sergius Plancus.
Caius Sempronius Tuditanus, praetor, cut off by the Celtiberians. Death of Attalus, at Pergamus. Peace granted to Philip, and liberty to Greece. Lucius Furius Purpureo and Marcus Claudius Marcellus, consuls, subdue the Boian and Insubrian Gauls. Triumph of Marcellus.
Mr Palliser's honours, as will be seen, came rushing upon him all at once. Wondrous little baby, purpureo genitus! What have the gods not done for thee, if thou canst only manage to live till thy good things are all thine own, to live through all the terrible solicitude with which they will envelope thee!
The descent of AEneas and the Sibyl to the infernal regions, to the world of spirits, expands an awful and boundless prospect, from the nocturnal gloom of the Cumaean grot, Ibant obscuri sola sub nocte per umbram, to the meridian brightness of the Elysian fields; Largior hic campos aether et lumine vestit Purpureo
