For myself, meanwhile, neither family sorrow nor ill-treatment by any individual shall withdraw me from the service of the state. This attempt led to riots and contests with Cato, and Nepos finally fled from Rome to Pompey.
Foremost amongst these was Caius Nepos, the praetorian praefect, all-powerful in the absence of the Cæsar, well liked by the army, so 'twas said. Some influential friends clung around him and also some malcontents, those who are ever on the spot when destruction is to be accomplished, ever ready to overthrow any government which does not happen to further their ambitions.
The Menaechmi is one of the immortal comedies and has survived in many forms on the modern stage all over Europe. He changed his name as stated in the text, the new name being that of an uncle who adopted him, as we learn from his life by Nepos. A similar necessity and bad roads created in England, before the eighteenth century, a demand for long legged sheep. His bone throughout heavy.
They did not know of his treachery to them; nothing, indeed, had occurred to make them guess that the man who, in a sense, had been the leader and organiser of their party, had betrayed them all to the Cæsar in the hopes of greater gains, once he knew that his adherents had no thought of offering him the imperium. The events of yesterday had changed the whole trend of Caius Nepos' ambitions.
"Aye!" said Caius Nepos, "with a little good luck even to-morrow might prove the best day. The Cæsar is half frenzied now, gorged with his triumph, the mockery of which he does not seem to understand. He is more like a raving madman than ever, much more feeble in mind and body than before this insensate expedition to Germany."
What I am expecting to hear from you is, what Arrius says, and how he endures being left in the lurch, and who are intended to be consuls is it Pompey and Crassus, or, as I am told in a letter, Servius Sulpicius with Gabinius? and whether there are any new laws or anything new at all; and, since Nepos is leaving Rome, who is to have the augurship the one bait by which those personages could catch me!
The barbarian confederates, discontented and unwilling to give their allegiance to this Greek, rebelled and under Orestes their general marched upon Ravenna. Julius Nepos fled by ship to Dalmatia and Orestes in Ravenna proclaimed his young son Romulus Augustulus emperor. But those barbarian mercenaries were not to be so easily satisfied.
It was made a Roman colony about the year B.C. 89. It has been the birthplace of many of Italy's brightest geniuses Catullus, the special poet of Verona, as Virgil was of Mantua, Cornelius Nepos, Æmilius Maca, Vitruvius, Pliny the younger, Scaliger, Sanmicheli, Paul Veronese; and it also possesses great historical interest, and many antiquities and remains of ancient buildings.
The length of the wall as a whole cannot be stated with precision; but it must have been very considerable, for three hundred elephants were stabled there, and the stores for their fodder and perhaps other spaces also as well as the gates are to be taken into account. Pun. 117; Nepos, ap. Serv.
After an interregnum of eighteen months, in which Ricimer practically ruled, Anthemius was brought from Byzantium in April, 467, and continued till July, 472; but Anicius Olybrius again was brought from Byzantium, reigned for a few months in 472, and died of the plague in October. In 473, Glycerius was put up for emperor; in 474, he gave place to Nepos, the third brought from Byzantium.
