To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
137 The emperor Tiberius extinguished the last sparks of popular liberty. Despotism was firmly established, and the debased and obsequious senate fawned at its mas- ter's feet. It was during this reign that the crucifixion of our Saviour took place. On hearing of Christ's mira- cles and resurrection, the emperor wished to enroll his name among the nation's gods, but was overruled in this case by the senate.
Caligula, the only surviving son of Germanicus, was the next Caesar. He was called Calig...'ula because he wore caligoB^ or soldiers' buskins, when he lived in camp with his father.
The new emperor was weak in both body and mind ; and though at first an amiable ruler, he soon gave way to shameful dissipation and capricious tyranny. His fond- ness for gladiatorial shows led him to disgrace the majesty of the Caesars by entering the arena himself. The old and infirm were thrown to his wild beasts. Even at his meals he had persons racked before him that he might enjoy their groans ; and in his frenzy he exclaimed, "Would that the people of Rome had a single neck, that I might dis- patch them at a blow !
