Stran 310 - But those who had forcibly committed personal defilements or murders, or were stained with the guilt of false evidence, counterfeit seals, forged wills, or other frauds, all these they punished with death. A greater number were executed than thrown into prison ; indeed, the multitude of men and women who suffered in both ways, was very considerable.
Stran 297 - ... a priest of secret and nocturnal rites. These mysterious rites were, at first, imparted to a few, but afterwards communicated to great numbers, both men and women. To their religious performances were added the pleasures of wine and feasting, to allure a greater number of proselytes.

Stran 283 - Gracchus ; that the contract was accordingly executed, in due form, in the presence of this assembly ; and that Scipio, on his return home, told his wife ^Emilia, that he had concluded a match for her younger daughter : that she, feeling her female pride hurt, expressed some resentment, on not having been consulted in the disposal of their common child ; and added, that, even were he giving her to Tiberius Gracchus, her mother ought not...
Stran 35 - ... as intended, or to return back by the way he came ; what spot, also, he should choose for his camp; how large a space he should enclose within the lines; where he could be conveniently supplied with water; where a sufficiency of forage and wood could be had; which would be his safest road on decamping next day, and in what form the army should march?
Stran 300 - ... receptacle of all kinds of debaucheries; that it was well known, that, for two years past, no one older than twenty had been initiated there. When any person was introduced, he was delivered as a victim to the priests, who led him away to a place resounding with shouts, the...
Stran 308 - How often in the ages of our fathers was it given in charge to the magistrates, to prohibit the performance of any foreign religious rites ; to banish strolling sacrificers and soothsayers from the forum, the circus, and the city ; to Search for, and burn, books of divination ; and to abolish every mode of sacrificing that was not conformable to the Roman practice...
Stran 311 - and ordering that, fi in case any person should believe some such kind of worship incumbent on him, and necessary ; and that he could not, without offence to religion, and incurring guilt, omit it, he should represent this to the city praetor, and the praetor should lay the business before the senate. If permission were granted by the senate, when not less than one hundred members were present, then he might perform those rites, provided that no more than five persons should be present at the sacrifice,...
Stran 347 - Lautumise, and four shops, and built there a court of justice, which was called the Porcian. They farmed out the several branches of the revenue at the highest prices, and bargained with the contractors for the performance of the public services on the lowest terms. When the senate, overcome by the prayers and lamentations of the publicans, ordered those bargains to be revoked, and new agreements to be made...
Stran 198 - This year als0, on the next day before the nones of June, a cross was seen in the moon, on a Wednesday, at the dawn; and afterwards, during the same year, on the third day before the calends of September, a wonderful circle was displayed about the sun. AD 807. This year was the sun eclipsed, precisely at eleven in the morning, on the seventeenth day before the calends of August. AD 812. This year died the Emperor Charlemagne, after a reign of five and forty winters; and Archbishop Wulfred...
Stran 345 - Cato, against those whom he either expelled the senate, or degraded from the equestrian rank, but by far the most so is that against Lucius Quintius. Had he spoken, in the character of prosecutor, previous to the censure, and not in that of censor after it, not even his brother Titus, if he were his colleague, could have suffered Quintius to remain in the senate. Among other charges, he objected to him, that he had, by hopes of extraordinary presents, prevailed on Philip, a...
