Nicolaus of Damascus' life of Augustus

Note 92 — TRANSLATION

Clayton Morris Hall translation

Compare Cicero’s remarks to Caesar concerning the statue on the rostra (Cic., pro Deiot. 12, 34). Dio 44, 4 gives a confused account of two statues having been erected on the rostra, one intended to represent Caesar as savior of the citizens, and the other as ‘rescuer of the city from siege;’ the appropriateness of this latter attribute seems somewhat obscure.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
