Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal Part 41

419. Ioseph. _vita_ 65.

420. Suet. _Vesp._ 17, 18.

421. Ib. 8.

422. Ib. 19 'vetera quoque acroamata revocaverat'.

423. Ib. 18.

424. Dion. lxvi. 13, in 71 A.D. That this act was ineffectual is shown by Domitian's action in 89-93 A.D.

425. Plin. _N.H._ praef. 5 and 11.

426. Suet. _Dom._ 2; Tac. _Hist._ iv. 86; Quint, x. 1. 91.

427. Suet. _Dom._ 18.

428. Quint. loc. cit.; Val. Fl. i. 12; Mart. v. 5. 7.

429. Suet. _Dom._ 4.

430. 6 Stat. _Silv._ iv. 2. 65, v. 3. 227.

431. Suet. _Dom._ 20. This may have been creditable to him as ruler of the empire, though Suetonius undoubtedly wishes us to regard Tiberius'

memoirs as a manual of tyranny.

432. Suet. _Dom._ 10.

433. Suet. loc. cit.; Hieronym. ad ann. 89 and 95 A.D. The latter date is wrong: cp. Mommsen, _Hermes_, iii (1869), p. 84.

434. Tac. _Agr._ 2.

435. Quint. x. 1. 89. There is no clear indication of his date, but he is coupled with Saleius Ba.s.sus by Juvenal (vii. 80), a fact which suggests that he belonged to the Flavian period.

436. x. 1. 90.

437. Juv. vii. 79.

438. Stat. _Silv._ v. 3.

439. Stat. _Silv._ i. 2. 253; Mart. iv. 6. 4, i. 7, vii. 14.

440. Schol. Vall, _ad Iuv._ i. 20; Mart. xi. 10; Rut. Nam. i. 603; Schol. _Iuv._ i. 71. For his brother Scaevus Memor see p. 30.

441. Plin. _Ep._ v. 3. 5, vi. 10. 4.

442. Ib. iii. 1. 11, ii. 7. 1

443. Mart. viii. 70. 7.

444. Plin. _Ep._ v. 3. 5.

445. Priscian, _Gr. Lat._ ii, p. 205, 6.

446. Plin. _Paneg._ 47; _Ep._ iii. 18. 5.

447. Dion. lxviii. 16; Gellius xi. 17. 1.

448. See p. 25. Other names are Octavius Rufus, Plin. _Ep._ i. 7; t.i.tinius Capito, _C. I. L._ 798, Plin. _Ep._ i. 17. 3; viii. 12. 4; Caninius Rufus, Plin. _Ep._ viii. 4. 1; Calpurnius Piso, Plin.

_Ep._ v. 17. 1.

449. _Ep._ vi. 15.

450. _Ep._ ix. 22.

451. Gaius Pa.s.sennus Paulus Propertius Blaesus was his full t.i.tle. He derives his chief interest from the fact that the inscription at a.s.sisi which preserves his name is our most conclusive evidence for the birthplace of Propertius. Haupt, opusc. i. p. 283, Leipz. (1875).

452. _Ep._ iv. 27.

453. viii. 21. 14.

454. vii. 9. 10.

455. iv. 14. 2.

456. iv. 14. 4.

457. He also translated the Greek epigrams of Arrius Antoninus. Cp.

_Ep._ iv. 3. 3, and xviii. 1. One of these translations is preserved.

Baehrens, _P.L.M._ iv. 112.

458. ii. 90. 9.

459. In the sixth Satire.

460. See Schanz, _Gesch. Rom. Lit._ -- 284.

461. Apoll. Sid. ix. 261 'quod Sulpiciae iocos Thalia scripsit blandiloquum suo Caleno'. Auson. _Cento. Nupt._, 4 'meminerint prurire opusculum Sulpiciae, frontem caperare'. Fulgentius, _Mythol._ 1 (p. 4, Helm.) 'Sulpicillae procacitas'

462. Schol. Vall, _ad Iuv._ vi. 537,

unde ait Sulpicia: si me cadurcis dissolutis fasciis nudam Caleno concubantem proferat.

463. Mart. x. 38. 9:

vixisti tribus, o Calene, l.u.s.tris: aetas haec tibi tota computatur et solos numeras dies mariti.

The first edition of Martial, Book x, was probably published in 95 A.D.

If Sulpicia married Calenus at the age of 18-25, her birth will therefore fall between 55 and 62 A. D.
