Note 280 — Chapter XI · AUGUSTUS AND HIS WORSHIPPERS

For this and his statue in the temple of Quirinus, with legend of Deo invicto, the vote of the Senate giving him a temple, flamen, and other divine honours, see Dio, 43, 45; 44, 6; Cicero, 2 Phil. § 110; ad Att. 13, 44; Sueton., Cæs. 76. It was worse than the case of Augustus, more insincere and less spontaneous. The Senate was filled with the protégés of Iulius at the time.
