My sons, the Cæsars Gaius and Lucius, whom fortune snatched from me in their youth,65the senate and Roman people, in order to do me honor, designated as consuls in the fifteenth year of each, with the intention that they should enter upon that magistracy after five years.66And the senate decreed that from the day in which they were introduced into the forum they should share in the public counsels.67Moreover the whole body of the Roman knights gave them the title,principesof the youth, and gave to each a silver buckler and spear.68
