CHAPTER
42.
THE ROMAN ARMY

1
. Suetonius,
Life of Augustus
49.

2
. Hyginus, in

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’).

7
. Statius,
Silvae
5.1.94–5.

8
. H. Dessau (ed.),
Inscriptiones Latinae Selectae
, 2558, with the fine study of M. P. Speidel, in
Ancient Society
(1991), 277–82, and his
Riding for Caesar
(1994), 46.

9
. Tacitus,

1.17, and J. F. Gilliam, in
Bonner Jahrbücher
(1967), 233–43, especially 238.

10
. Suetonius,
Life of Tiberius
16.

11
. R. W. Davies, in
Aufstieg und Niedergang der Römischen Welt
, volume II.i (1974), 301–34, an excellent survey.

14
. H. C. Youtie, in J. Bingen, G. Cambier and G. Nachtergael (eds.),

43.

CHAPTER
44.
THE JULIO-CLAUDIANS

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.

. Suetonius,

6
. I incline to M. Stern, in M. Avi-Yonah and Z. Baras (eds.),
Society and Religion in the Second Temple Period
(1977), 263–301; note also M. Smith, in
Harvard Theological Review
(1971), 1–19; ‘Zealots’ occur first in Josephus,

(1986).

5
. Luke 13.1–5.

Harvard Theological Review
(1949), 109–24.

7
. Acts of the Apostles 18.17; on Paul and Pisidian Antioch, W. Ramsay, in
Journal of Roman Studies

The Roman Empire: Augustus to Hadrian
(1988), 82–3, with the important study of P. A. Brunt, in

. Suetonius,
