" [Footnote: L1666.] For this all
the Senators presented their thanks; only Hortalus said nothing; perhaps
through present awe, or perhaps possessed, even in poverty, with the
grandeur of his ancient nobility. Nor did Tiberius ever show further pity,
though the house of Hortensius was fallen into shameful distress.
At the end of the year, a triumphal arch was raised near the Temple of
Saturn; a monument this for the recovery of the Varian Eagles, under the
conduct of Germanicus, under the auspices of Tiberius. A temple was
dedicated to Happy Fortune near the Tiber, in the gardens bequeathed to
the Roman People by Caesar, the Dictator. A chapel was consecrated to the
Julian family, and statues to the deified Augustus, in the suburbs called
Bovillae. In the consulship of Caius Celius and Lucius Pomponius, the six-
and-twentieth of May, Germanicus Caesar triumphed over the Cheruscans, the
Cattans, the Angrivarians, and the other nations as far as the Elbe. In
the triumph were carried all the spoils and captives, with the
representations of mountains, of rivers, and of battles; so that his
conquests, because he was restrained from completing them, were taken for
complete.
