, volume I (1998), 324–8, and volume II (1998), 71–6.
5
. Suetonius,
Life of Nero
44.1; I disagree with P. A. Brunt, in
Scripta Classica Israelica
(1974), 80; a ‘levy’ (
dilectus
) is either of auxiliaries or of volunteers (Tacitus,
Histories
3.58, is a good example).
6
. Tacitus,
Annals
4.4.2, and Suetonius,
Life of Tiberius
30, where M. W. Frederiksen pointed out to me the force of ‘etiam’ (‘even’).

16.
11

1
. H. Dessau (ed.),
Inscriptiones Latinae Selectae
, 5026; I owe this to C. E. Stevens. It was not adduced by R. Syme; J. Scheid,
Les Frères Arvales
(1975), 87, does cite it, and R. Syme,
The Augustan Aristocracy
(1986), 415, then dismisses it, quite unconvincingly.
