Capito were consuls A.D.
59, and suggests that this may be the year meant. This would give A.D.
119 as the date of composition.

[104] The scholiast connects with 4, 37-8.

[105] This story is rejected both by Hardy and by Friedlaender.

[106] Juvenal had a leaning to Stoicism: cf. _Sat._ 10 _ad fin._, and
his references to fate, _e.g._ 7, 200; 10, 365; 12, 63. He believes in
the gods (13, 247-9), but disbelieves the doctrines of the popular
religion (2, 149 _sqq._).

[107] The inscription records the appointment of Cilo's sons and a
woman Lutulla as trustees of a fund, the interest of which was to be
disbursed to the people of Comum.

[108] _Hermes_, iii. 31 _sqq._

[109] The inscription in Caria, formerly supposed to give P. as
praenomen, is now shown to have been misread.

[110] The inhabitants of Terni (Interamna) erected a statue to Tacitus
as to a fellow-townsman in A.D. 1514.

[111] _Bull. de Corr. Hell._, 1890, p. 621, quoted by Prof. W. M.
Ramsay, _The Church in the Roman Empire_, p. 228.

[112] One of the speakers in the Dialogue, Curiatius Maternus, was the
author of tragedies _Medea_ and _Thyestes_, and of praetextae
_Domitius_ and _Cato_ (_Dial._ 2-3).

[113] Various attempts have been made, especially in a work published
in London, 1878, to prove, of course unsuccessfully, that the _Annals_
were forged in the fifteenth century by the Italian scholar Poggio
Bracciolini.

[114] Fabius Rusticus, a friend of Seneca, quoted also for the shape
of Britain (_Agr._ 10).

[115] Cluvius Rufus, governor of Hispania Tarraconensis B.C. 69 (_H._
i. 8). Mommsen considers that he is one of the historians censured in
_H._ ii. 101.

[116] Roth gives 71, Teuffel 75 at latest.

APPENDIX A

ON SOME OF THE CHIEF ANCIENT AUTHORITIES FOR THE HISTORY OF ROMAN
LITERATURE.

1. JEROME[117] (HIERONYMUS) was born about A.D. 335 at Stridon, on the
frontiers of Dalmatia and Pannonia, and died A.D. 420 at the monastery
of Bethlehem. His contributions to the history of Roman literature are
to be found in his translation of the Chronicle (+chronikoi
kanones+) of Eusebius, in which the dates are reckoned from the first
year of Abraham (= B.C. 2016 according to his chronology), the point
at which Eusebius commenced. On the period between the Trojan War and
A.D. 325 Jerome not merely translated the remarks of Eusebius, as he
had done in the earlier period, but also added numerous extracts from
authorities on Roma
