Divus Julius

Divus Julius Suetonius
48.1 It is further reported that in the provinces he gave banquets constantly in two dining-halls, in one of which his officers or Greek companions, in the other Roman civilians and the more distinguished of the provincials reclined at table. He was so punctilious and strict in the management of his household, in small matters as well as in those of greater importance, that he put his baker in irons for serving him with one kind of bread and his guests with another; and he inflicted capital punishment on a favourite freedman for adultery with the wife of a Roman knight, although no complaint was made against him.
49.1 There was no stain on his reputation for chastity except his intimacy with King Nicomedes, but that was a deep and lasting reproach, which laid him open to insults from every quarter. I say nothing of the notorious lines of Licinius Calvus: Whate’er Bithynia had, and Caesar’s paramour. I pass over, too, the invectives of Dolabella and the elder Curio, in which Dolabella calls him the queen’s rival, the inner partner of the royal couch, and Curio, the brothel of Nicomedes and the stew of Bithynia.
