tells us Cesar was equally ambitious
that he was first made Consul for ten
years.
Statues were erected 20 him in the tenn
Piles on the Rostra, and in the Capitol
where he was to stand as an eighth among
the seven kings of Rome. In the excess
OF their alteration, they even desired to
place his image in the Temple of Quirinus
himself, with an inscription to bim-'The
Inviucible God His birthday
was made perpetual holiday, and The
month Quinctilis was renamed in honor of
HIN, July. His person was
declared sacred, and to iuiura him bv
word or deed was to be counted sacrileee,
Finally they arrived at a con-
clusion that he was not man at all. No
longer Caius Julius, but Divus julius, q
God,or the son OF God. A temple was to
be built to Caesar, as another Qulrinus,
and Anthony was to be his priest.

duiged in no enthusiasm for liberty. He
never dilated on the beauties of virtue or
cOmplimented a Providence in which he
did not believe. He fought his
battles to establish some tolerable degree
