Divus Augustus

Divus Augustus Suetonius
58 To the physician Antonius Musa, who had cured him of a dangerous illness, they erected a statue near that of aEsculapius, by a general subscription. Some heads of families ordered in their wills, that their heirs should lead victims to the capitol, with a tablet carried before them, and pay their vows, " Because Augustus still survived." Some Italian cities appointed the day upon which he first visited them, to be thenceforth the beginning of their year. And most of the provinces, besides erecting temples and altars, instituted games, to be celebrated to his honour, in most towns, every five years.
58 The kings, his friends and allies, built cities in their respective kingdoms, to which they gave the name of Caesarea: and all with one consent resolved to finish, at their common expense, the temple of Jupiter Olympius, at Athens, which had been begun long before, and consecrate it to his Genius. They frequently also left their kingdoms, laid aside the badges of royalty, and assuming the toga, attended and paid their respects to him daily, in the manner of clients to their patrons: not only at Rome, but when he was travelling through the provinces.
