Galba | Page 9

Aurelius Cotta, A.U.C. 610.
[645] A.U.C. 604.
[646] A.U.C. 710.
[647] A.U.C 775.
[648] A.U.C. 608.
[649] Caius Sulpicius Galba, the emperor's brother, had been consul
A.U.C. 774.
[650] A.U.C. 751.
[651] Now Fondi, which, with Terracina, still bearing its original name,
lie on the road to Naples. See TIBERIUS, cc. v. and xxxix.
[652] Livia Ocellina, mentioned just before.
[653] A.U.C. 751.
[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.
[664] Tortosa, on the Ebro.
[665] "Simus," literally, fiat-nosed, was a cant word, used for a clown;
Galba being jeered for his rusticity, in consequence of his long
retirement. See c. viii. Indeed, they called Spain his farm.
[666] The command of the pretorian guards.
[667] In the Forum. See AUGUSTUS, c. lvii.
[668] II. v. 254.
[669] A.U.C. 822.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US unless
a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not keep eBooks in
compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance of the
official release dates, leaving time for better editing. Please be
encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections, even years after the
official publication date.

Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til midnight of
the last day of the month of any such announcement. The official
release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at Midnight, Central
Time, of the last day of the stated month. A preliminary version may
often be posted for suggestion, comment and editing by those who wish
to do so.
Most people start at our Web sites at: http://gutenberg.net
or
http://promo.net/pg

These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is also a
good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the indexes our
cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an announcement goes
out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90
Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want, as it
appears in our Newsletters.
Information about Project Gutenberg
(one page)
We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The time
it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours to get any
eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright searched and
analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our projected audience is
one hundred million readers. If the value per text is nominally
estimated at one dollar then we produce $2 million dollars per hour in
2002 as we release over 100 new text files per month: 1240 more
eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+ We are already on our way to
trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002 If they reach just 1-2% of the
world's population then the total will reach over half a trillion eBooks

given away by year's end.
The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers, which is
only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated):
