[654] The widow of the emperor Augustus. [655] Suetonius seems to have forgotten, that, according to his own testimony, this legacy, as well as those left by Tiberius, was paid by Caligula. "Legata ex testamento Tiberii; quamquam abolito, sed et Juliae Augustae, quod Tiberius suppresserat, cum fide, ac sine calumnia repraesentate persolvit." CALIG. c. xvi. [656] A.U.C. 786. [657] Caius Caesar Caligula. He gave the command of the legions in Germany to Galba. [658] "Scuto moderatus;" another reading in the parallel passage of Tacitus is scuto immodice oneratus, burdened with the heavy weight of a shield. [659] It would appear that Galba was to have accompanied Claudius in his expedition to Britain; which is related before, CLAUDIUS, c. xvii. [660] It has been remarked before, that the Cantabria of the ancients is now the province of Biscay. [661] Now Carthagena. [662] A.U.C. 821. [663] Now Corunna. |
