Titus Labienus
Augustus took various steps to stop the flourishing of anti-monarchic sentiments. He stopped the publication of senatorial protocols, poisonous pamphlets; curtailed all oral and written criticism, started book burning in the name of ecclesiastical requirement, made new laws on censorship and so on. Titus Labienus was the first victim on the charge of committing literary treason under "lex maiestas." In this case the specific offensive work was destroyed. But in the case of Titus Labienus, all his writings were destined to be destroyed.
