this Magistrate was call'd Praefectus Urbis After this he immediately proceeded to settle the Authorities of King Senate and People The King's Office at home was To take care of the Religious Rites to preserve the Laws and Customs to decide the chief Causes between Man and Man and refer the less Matters to the Senate into which he had an Inspection to call the Senate assemble the People first giving his own Opinion then ratifying what was approv'd of by the major Part Abroad and in the Wars He had absolute Authority The Senate's Office was To debate and resolve about such things as the King propos'd which were decreed by the Majority of Voices To the People he committed three Things To create Magistrates make Laws and resolve about any War that was propos'd by the King yet still in such a manner as the Authority of the Senate always interpos'd The next thing that Romulus did was to take care of a Guard for his Person and therefore he order'd the Curiae to chuse him out 300 lusty young Men ten out of each and these were call'd Celeres à celeritate from their Activity and Readiness to assist the King upon all Occasions They were commanded by a Tribune or Colonel call'd Tribunus Celerum three Centurions and other Inferiour Officers This Company with their Spears defended the King in the City and in Battels were the foremost Leaders Charging first and Retreating last Besides these he had for his Attendance twelve Lictors or Sergeants who punish'd Offenders and executed his Commands these always going before him in Publick with their Bundles of Rods call'd Fasces and their Axes signifying different Punishments according to Mens different Crimes Thus Romulus with all the Industry and Prudence imaginable took care to settle the State being very exact in Justice and forbidding all sordid Arts and Trades especially such as were subservient to Luxury which being left wholly to Slaves and Strangers the Romans for many Years scorn'd to be concern'd in ' em This is the Form of the Common-wealth as Romulus first establish'd it which in general was so excellent that it was admir'd by Dionysius above all the Constitutions even of his own Country-men the Grecians and by its Healthfulness and robust Constitution had all the manifest Signs of a thriving and long-liv'd State II. Romulus finding he was encompass'd with several powerful Nations who with envious Eyes beheld the extraordinary Growth of his City and observing how much it was fill'd by Fugitives who had no Wives he bethought himself of Means to contract Alliance with his Neighbours and to procure Wives for his Subjects which was his second Device to encrease the City Therefore by Advice of his Grand-Father Numitor and the Consent of the Senate he proclaim'd a Solemn Feast and Publick Games in Honour of Neptune thro' all the Country thereabouts This immediately occasion'd a great Concourse of all sorts of People who came flocking in with their Wives and Children from several Neighbouring Places to behold these Pompous Shows together with the new City In the mid'st of the Solemnity upon a Signal given the Romans with their drawn Swords seiz'd on such Virgins as they cou'd most conveniently catch and by main Force carry'd 'em to their Houses The Number of these amounted to 683 for whom Romulus chose so many Husbands and marry'd 'em after their own Country Rites making 'em sign a Covenant or Agreement with the Ceremonies of Fire and Water which Custom continu'd among the Romans for many Ages This Act was highly resented by most of their Neighbours especially the Sabines who were principally concern'd but their Backwardness in their Preparations made the Cities Caenina Antemna and Crustumium begin the War first The two former three or four Miles North of Rome and Inhabited by the Aborigines Romulus soon subdu'd with the Death of their King Acron whom he slew in a single Combat and afterwards the latter a Colony of Alba a little way within the Country of the Sabines The Lands were divided between some of the Romans and the old Inhabitants of whom 3000 were made Free of Rome without losing their former Estates so that the Foot-men of the City were now much increas'd For this Victory Romulus first Triumph'd and bringing home the Spoils of King Acron which the Romans nam'd Opima Spolia or Royal Spoils he design'd a Spot of Ground upon Mount Capitoline for a Temple to Iupiter Feretrius so call'd either à ferendo to bear or rather from ferire to strike and this was the Place where the Capitol afterwards stood The Valour of Romulus and his good Conduct in this War together with his Clemency to the Conquer'd had so great Effects that not only many eminent Men went over to him with their Families amongst whom was Caelius who gave Name to a Hill in the City but some whole Nations committed themselves to his Protection and receiv'd Colonies from Rome This notable Success was a great Disappointment to the Sabines who resolving to correct their former Carelessness by double Diligence assembled themselves at Cures their Metropolis proclaim'd War against Rome and made choice of Tatius their King for General On the other side Romulus made all possible Provision for Resistance fortifying the Capitoline and Aventine Hills and receiving Auxiliary-Troops both from Hetruria and his Grand-Father Numitor. The Sabines to have the fairer Pretence first demanded Restitution of the Virgins and to have the Authors of the Injury deliver'd up to them but receiving no satisfactory Answer both Armies drew out into the Field the Sabines being 25000 Foot and 1000 Horse and the Romans 20000 Poot and 800 Horse a great Number for a new built City Tatius encamp'd between the Capitoline and Quirinal but found 'em too well fortify'd to be attack'd but one Tarpeia Daughter to Tarpeius Governour of the Capitoline call'd to his Men from above and agreed to betray the Place into their Hands which was in a short Time effected What she requir'd of 'em as a Reward for this was what they wore on their left Arms meaning their Bracelets but they threw their Targets upon her which they wore on their left Arms and press'd her to Death From hence this Hill was callâ—d Tarpeius till the building of the Capitol which made it lose the Name except that part of it which was call'd the Tarpeian Rock from whence they threw Malefactors down headlong The Sabines now Masters of the Capitoline had the Advantage of continuing the War at their pleasure and for a long time only light Skirmishes pass'd between both Parties with little or no Advantage to either side But the Tediousness and Charge of the War so wearied out both Romans and Sabines that they very much desir'd a Peace but neither side wou'd stoop to sue for it Thus they continu'd for a very considerable time till both resolving to do their utmost they came to a general Battel which
Octavius ought to have the Title of Romulus because he had founded the Empire but the more venerable Name of AUGUSTUS propounded by Munacius Planâ—us at length seem'd most agreeable for sacred Placeâ— and Temples consecrated by Augurs were term'd Augusta by the Romans Caesar tho' he much desir'd that of Romulus yet perceiving he shou'd be suspected of affecting the Title of King declin'd it and was sirnam'd Augustus intimating something in him more than Mortal and this he accepted of a Title expressing more Dignity and Reverence than Authority And Things are call'd Augusta which are most worthy of Honour and most Sacred wherefore the Greeks express it by 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or Venerable From this Day forward began the Sovereign Power and Authority to be in the Hands of one Man and by a Law call'd Lex Regia all the Power of the People and Senate was transferr'd upon Augustus When his ten Years were expir'd ten more were added and after that as many more so that he had his Authority still continu'd for his Life for which Cause his Successors tho' they had the Power settled on 'em for the Term of Life yet at the End of every ten Years solemniz'd at it were the Renewing of it Thus Augustus Caesar became Supreme Governour of the Roman People neither by Inheritance nor Usurpation nor Conquest nor Election yet by means of 'em all This great Change of Government hapned in the 727th Year of the City A. M. 3978 in the second Year of the 188th Olympiad 482 Years since the Beginning of the Consular State 303 since the Beginning of the Macedonian Empire 33 since the Beginning of the Mix'd State 17 since the Death of Iulius Caesar and 25 before our Saviour's Nativity Here ended the greatest Common-wealth in the World and at the same time began the greatest Monarchy a Monarchy so well fix'd and firmly settled that nor all the tyrannical Carriage of those Monsters of Men that succeeded Augustus cou'd shake it a Monarchy which if it be consider'd with others as to its Power and Riches together with its Extent and Continuance there is scarce any room left for Comparison and a Monarchy which the Romans for many Years believ'd Indissoluble and Immortal The Roman Dominions were now almost brought to their utmost Extent containing in Europe Italy both the Gauls Spain Greece Illyricum Dacia Panonia with some part of Britain and Germany In Asia all those Provinces which went under the Name of Asia Minor Armenia Syria Iudaea with part of Mesopotamia and Media and in Africa Aegypt Africk Numidia Mauritania and Lybia besides many Islands and some Parts of other Provinces All which comprehended the greatest and far the best Part of Europe with very large Parts of Asia and Africa being no less than between 3 and 4000 Miles in length and about half as much in breadth As to the yearly Revenues of the Empire by a moderate Computation it has been reckon'd at â—igh forty Millions of our Money whereof Gaul paid five and that without being extremely burdensom to the People But what still makes it seem greater is what Vespasian told the Senate at his coming to the Empire that he wanted 40000000 of Sestercium's to settle the Common-wealth which amounts to 312000000 of our Money As for the Romans themselves they had now nothing so elevated a Temper either for the Greatness of Genius or the Force of the Soul as in some Time in the Republick but had something more Polite and Sociable and never were more glorious or at least more pleasant Times than now all Wars and Contests ceasing all Arts and Sciences flourishing and all Riches and Pleasures increasing In short Augustus made the World happy and was happy in the World he had nothing to desire of the Publick nor the Publick of him And considering the many Evils he occasion'd before he came to the Empire and the great Good he did after he was Emperor it was said with good Reason That he shou'd never have been born or never have dy'd But for his Actions afterwards and his further settlement of the Empire I must leave to the other Volume of this History FINIS An INDEX of the principal Things relating more particularly to the Ancient Magistrates Laws Buildings Customs c. of Rome A.

Men with light Iron Helmets and bound their wooden Targets about with Brass teaching them how to fence and receive the Enemies Blows without Hurt By this means he render'd the Swords of the Gauls so unserviceable that giving 'em Battel at the River Anio he easily overthrew 'em which hapned 23 Years after they had destroy'd the City and after this Defeat the Romans began now to despise the Gauls as much as they had fear'd 'em before Soon after this Camillus in his Return homewards had Velitrae surrender'd to him without any Resistance But Camillus's greatest Contention and which was hardest to be manag'd was with the People who now returning home full of Victory and Success violently insisted again to have one of the Consuls chosen out of their own Body The Senate strongly oppos'd it and wou'd not suffer Camillus to lay down his Dictator-ship thinking that under the Shelter of his great Name and greater Authority they shou'd be the better able to contend for the Power of the Nobility But when Camillus was sitting upon the Tribunal dispatching publick Affairs an Officer sent by the Tribunes of the People commanded him to rise and follow him laying his Hand upon him as ready to seize him Upon which such a Noise and Tumult follow'd in the Assembly as was never before known in Rome Some that were about Camillus thrusting the People from the Bench and the Multitude below Crying out Pull him down Pull him down Still he wouâ—d not lay down his Office but taking the Senators along with him he went to the Senate-House where great Contests arose by reason of contrary Opinions but at last the most Popular Party prevail'd and a Law was made That one of the Consuls for the future might be chosen out of the Plebeians and this hapned 143 Years after their first Creation and 24 after the burning of Rome by the Gauls From this time forwards the Military Tribunes were for ever laid aside now 78 Years since their first Creation after 49 Courses of that Office and 15 from the Consul-ship to that and from that to the Consul-ship Now the People were reconcil'd to the Senate and a Temple was presently built and Dedicated to Concord according as Camillus had vow'd and the Patritians desiring a Praetor to be created out of their Body for the Administration of Justice in the City it was immediately Granted ' em This Praetor was a Magistrate of extraordinary Note so call'd à Praeâ—undo a Name which the Consuls themselves had for some time The Power and Authority of this Magistrate was very great for he executed the Office of the Consuls in their Absence both in the Senate and in the Comitia But the Principal Business of these Praetors was to Administer Justice in the City or Provinces to which the Consuls couâ—d not so easily attend and upon that account they may be English'd Lord Chief Iustices They judgâ—d all Causes both Civil and Criminal which last were call'd Capitales in Civil Causes they were cloth'd in Purple but when they pass'd Sentence in Criminal Causes they were in Mourning Upon the account of their Power and Honour and likewise because they were created by the same Auspicia with the Consuls Livy calls them Collegues of the Consuls Their Ornaments and Ensigns were six Lictors with their Fasces the Toga Praetexta and Cella Curulis and besides those Marks of Consular Dignity the Sword and Spear plac'd by them in the Court Their Officers in Court besides the Lictors were the Scribes or Notaries to enter things in Writing and the Accensi or Bailiffs who Summon'd the People together At first there was but one Praetor and that for above 100 Years then another was Created who administred Justice to Strangers whereupon for Distinction sake the first was call'd Praetor Urbanus or Major and the latter Peregrinus or Minor But as the Business and Dominions of Rome increased the number of these Praetors was likewise inlarg'd and encreas'd gradually till in Augustus's Reign they came to Sixteen Immediately after the Reconciliation between the Nobility and Commons a 4th Day was added to the Latin Feriae and the greater fort of Games were Solemniz'd which when the Aediles of the Commons were unwilling to manage according to their Office the young Patritians offer'd themselves and the Senate procur'd also of the People that two Patritians every year might be made Aediles who from the Ivory Chair call'd Cella Curulis had the Name of Aediles Curuleâ— These were Created 128 Years after the Aediles of the Commons but were of greater Account as being Curule Magistrates their Chair being so call'd either from Currus the Chariot which carri'd it and the Magistrate about or from Curvus because it was made with Crooked Feet They had all the same Offices and Business as the Aediles of the Commons but had rather greater Authority but more especially they took Care of the great and publick Games such as the Ludi Florales Circenses Megalenses Romani c. as also of Tragedies and Comedies Sometimes at their own Charge they made these Shews and ever examin'd the Plays written before they were Acted and whether from this Inspection of all Plays and the like it is uncertain they seem to have been the Licensers and Judges of other Writings It is further observ'd that the Generals of Armies when return'd home from Victory deliver'd up the Corn and Provisions which were Prize to these Aediles Curules as they did the Prisoners to the Praetor and the Money to the Quaestor Thus were the Disturbances of Rome allay'd and all things for a short space continu'd in Peace and Quiet IV. Soon after these Affairs were setled News came of the Gauls meeting together who had before been dispers'd through Apulia and of the intended Revolt of the Hernici But all Preparations were deferred by the Senate because they were unwilling to have any thing done by a Plebeian Consul On the other side the Tribunes began to complain that for one Plebeian Consul the Nobility had got three Patritian Magistrates who sate as Consuls in their Curule Chairs and their Praetexta Modesty therefore suffer'd not the Fathers to Create both the Curule Aediles out of their own Body so that it was agreed first that every other Year they shou'd be chosen out of the Commons but afterwards they were Elected promiscuously The Year following there hapned a grievous Plague in the City which swept away vast Numbers among the rest Camillus himself after he had done so many Noble Services for the City that he was deservedly called the second Founder of Rome The Plague raging both in this and the following Year the Romans to appease their Gods brought in Stage-Plays sending for Actors out of Hetruria in the Language of which Country Hister signifying a Player thence came the Roman word Histrio These Plays were at first very Barbarous and Antick beginning with a plain Country Dance to a Pipe after which the
also perform'd many great Actions overthrowing the Samnites and Storming Two of their Camps which success so elevated him that he immediately stood for the Consul-ship and obtainâ—d it having the Honour likewise of Finishing this dangerous War nigh Three years after it was begun a War so destructive that it consum'd above â—00000 of the Youth of Italy according to Paterculus This War was ended with a Disturbance in the City about Usury and the unexpected Privileges of the Conquer'd Italians who had the Freedom of the City given 'em just as the others had a short time before and so all things were happily quieted V. But Quiet and Peace was too great a Happiness for Rome at this time for the Social War was scarce finish'd when Two others broke out one the Cause of the other This first was with Mithridates King of Pontus in Asia Minor a Prince famous for his Knowledge and Learning mighty in Riches and Power of a boundless Ambition and a Former of vast Designs This King by several Actions had gainâ—d the Enmity of Ronie particularly by procuring Tigranes King of Armenia to Declare against the Roman State and by his over-running his Neighbours the Bithynians Phrygians Mysias Lycians Pamphylians and other Allies of Rome And which was more Provoking than all the rest he had taken Q. Oppius and Aquilius the latter of which he kill'd by pouring Melted Gold down his Throat continually upbraiding the Romans with Avarice and Corruption Upon all these Accounts the Romans Proclaim'd War against him and Sylla and Pompeius Rufus being Consuls it fell to the former's share to Undertake it But Sylla having not yet quite finish'd the Social War Marius stirr'd by the Desire either of Profit or of Honour perswaded Sulpicius Tribune of the People of prefer a Law for transferring the Management of this War from Sylla to him He made what Parties he cou'd and drew the People of Italy to his Side who had lately been made free of the City by promising em equal Privileges with those in the 35 Tribes which as yet they wanted so that Matters were carry'd on with Violent Heats and Contentions and Pompey's Son and Son-in-Law to Sylla was kill'd in the midst of these Tumults and Disturbances Sylla hearing of these dangerous Commotions hastned to the City easily perswading his Army to stand by him in all Exigencies for they were very unwilling to have any other go on that Expedition from which they promis'd themselves such Great Advantages His Collegue Pompey joyn'd with him and tho Marius and Sulpicius the Tribune made all possible Opposition yet after some Difficulty and Bloodshed they enter d the City and Marius with his Accomplices were forc'd to betake themselves to flight and thus began the other War which was the first Civil War of any Note among the Romans as the Troubles of the Gracchi were the first in which there had been any Blood-shed of Note Sylla did no Injury to the Citizens in General but Revers'd all that Sulpicius had done regulated the Senate procur'd Marius Sulpicius and Ten other Leading Men to be Declar'd open Enemies to their Country made it Lawful for any Person to kill them and set their Goods to Publick Sale Shortly after this he departed upon his Expedition against Mithridates who now had very much extended his Conquests even to the subduing a Great Part of Greece it self Sulpicius was in a short time taken and put to Death but Marius hid himself in the Fens of Minturnum where being discover'd a Gaul was sent to kill him but he was so dash'd and amaz'd at the Nobleness of his Presence that he cou'd not perform his Order So that Marius being convey'd out of that Place escap'd into Africk where he was joyn'd by cethegus and other who had fled into Numidia expecting a convenient Opportunity to Invade their own Country Pompeius Rufus the Consul to secure Italy was at the same time appointed to Receive and Command the Army of Pompeius Strabo who had done great Service in the Social War and had so far gain'd the Affection of his Men that they finding they were like to part with their Old General stood up and slew the Counsul himself so that now there were great Dangers and Disturbances in all Parts Cornelius Cinna and C. Octavius were made Consuls for the following Year Cinna corrupted as some are of Opinion immediately declar'd himself for the New Citizens and recall d Marius with the rest of the Exiles which Actions were so violently oppos'd by his Collegue Octavius that Cinna was by Force driven from the City and Merula put in his Place Cinna upon this going about to the Italian People by giving 'em fresh Hopes of equal Privileges with the Romans and pretending That all his Troubles and Sufferings were purely for their Sakes obtain'd great Summs of Money Marius also coming over to him shortly they together rais'd a Considerable Army and Cinna March'd directly to Rome and sat down before it to the Great Surprize and Terror of the Inhabitants Marius at the same time March'd against Ostia and took it by Force but Cinna before Rome finding he was not like to carry the Place broke up the Siege and Invested Ariminum which he soon after Storm'd Marius after the taking of 〈◊〉 advanc'd with his whole Army and posâ—ed himself upon the Hill Ianiculum joyning to Rome which again put the Inhabitants into a Great Consternation especially for that he was soon after joyn'd by Cinna The Consuls finding they cou'd not recall Sylla from Countries so far distant sent to Metellus then lying with an Army in Samnium but he differing with them about some Conditions shortly after join'd himself with Marius At which time the City was nigh being betray'd by Ap. Claudius a Tribune of the Army who was invested with the Command of the Janiculum but tho' He and Cinna Broke in they were repell'd by Octavius and Pompeius Strabo the Proconsul who was shortly after kill'd with a Thunder-bolt Marius after this took in several Towns about Rome where Provisions lay and Cinna by the fair Promises of Liberty drew great Numbers of Slaves out of the City which the Senate perceiving dispatch'd Ambassadors to Cinna and Marius desiring them to come into the City peaceably and spare their own Country-men Cinna refus'd to admit of any Address made to him as a Private Man so that they were forc'd to treat with him as Consul and desir'd him to swear that he wou'd shed no Blood Oinna absolutely refus'd to take such an Oath but promis'd that knowingly and willingly he wou'd not be the Cause of any Man's Death Marius stood by him and said nothing but gave sufficient Testimony by the Sourness of his Countenance and the Sternness of his Looks that he wou'd shortly fill the City with Massacres But the better to dissemble his Rage he at last broke Silence telling the Ambassadors that he was then in Exile and banish'd his Country by course of Law that
