Note 87 — TRANSLATION
Clayton Morris Hall translation
20.[87] On the occasion of the ‘ludi Victoriae Caesaris,’ held July 20-30, 45 B.C. as a continuation of the ‘ludi’ of Sept. 46 (old calendar) a figure of ‘Victoria’ was borne in procession in close proximity to an image of Caesar. The populace refrained from applause, the cause being, according to Cicero, that ‘Victoria’ was in bad company, through the presence of Caesar’s image (Cic., Att., 13, 44, 1).
