noble youths of Rome, drove their. chariots, with four
horses, yoked and unyoked ; for three days wrestlers,
boxers, and racers contested for prizes en the field of
Mars ; on a lake formed near the Tiber sea-fights with
Tyrian and Egyptian ships astonished the spectators, and
such immense crowds thronged to the festival, that they
were obliged to sleep under tents. Two consuls and
many of the crowd were trampled to death.
A statue was erected to him, placed opposite to
that of Jupiter, in the Capitol: standing in a chariot,
with a globe under his feet, inscribed to Czesar—
demi-god ! Divine honours were decreed to him—sacri-
fices, incense, altars, temples, libations, priests, festivals.
He was styled Julius the Liberator ! They dedicated to
him the temple of Liberty ! His image was erected in all
their cities and temples, the statue adorned with a civic
crown, with another obsidional one, were both placed in
the Tribunal, where the orators delivered their harangues.
In the Temple of Romuius his statue was inscribed as the

Cicero says, " he maintairei an elegant, brilliant, grand,
and generous style of speaking ; who more keen and rapid

caution only equalled by his daring; if his soldiers were
flying from t6e•eneiny, he laid hold of them by the throats

and turned them round to face the enemy. In preventing
