ms home, and serve in the army
A year had passed since the death of
Antonius. when the cry of treason >
echoed through the streets of immortal
Rome. Above the shouts of the people
could be heard the martial music, and the
crested helmets and proud banners of
some invading host might have been seen
fiowlng onward to the palace of the tyrant,
Nero. "Galba and freedom" rent the
air and struck a joyful chord in ever Ro-
man heart. Nero heard it and trembled :
He retired to his chamber and by his own
hand met his God, with the blood of how
many persons upon his guilty head eterni
ty alone shall tell
We will not prolong our narrative.
Galba became emperor by The unanimous
consent of the people. He was, however.
OF an age which untitled him for the dr-
ties which it was necessary for him to dis
charge. and he soon resigned to the youth
full Plso. Yet the malice and envy of
Otho, Governor of Lusitania, did not es.
cape either Galba or his successor, and
they were both murdered at his instiga.
tian
Thus perished the last of the family of
Piso who had held as high rank as any
In Rome; and who had their origin as far
back as Tarquin the proud.

was too eminent to allow him to stop for

and renewed activity, however, to the lat
