Divus Julius Suetonius
80.2 On the admission of foreigners to the Senate, a placard was posted: God bless the Commonwealth!Bonum factum (sit) was a formula prefixed to edicts, here used in jest; cf. the similar formulas in proposals to the senate, Aug. lviii. 3, Calig. xv. 3. let no one consent to point out the House to a newly made senator. The following verses too were sung everwhere:— Caesar led the Gauls in triumph, led them to the senate house; Then the Gauls put off their breeches, and put on the laticlave.See note on xlv. 3.
80.3 When Quintus Maximus, whom he had appointed consul in his place for three months, was entering the theatre, and his lictor called attention to his arrival in the usual manner, a general shout was raised: He’s no consul! At the first election after the deposing of Caesetius and Marullus, the tribunes, several votes were found for their appointment as consuls. Some wrote on the base of Lucius Brutus’ statue, Oh, that you were still alive; and on that of Caesar himself: First of all was Brutus consul, since he drove the kings from Rome;Since this man drove out the consuls, he at last is made our king.
