sed veteris populi Romani prospera vel adversa claris scriptoribus memorata sunt ; temporibusque Augusti dicendis non defuere decora ingenia , donec gliscente adulatione deterrerentur . Tiberii Gaique et Claudii ac Neronis res florentibus ipsis ob metum falsae , postquam occiderant recentibus odiis compositae sunt .
But
the
successes
and
reverses
of
the
old
Roman
people
have
been
recorded
by
famous
historians
;
and
fine
intellects
were
not
wanting
to
describe
the
times
of
Augustus
,
till
growing
sycophancy
scared
them
away
.
The
histories
of
Tiberius
,
Caius
,
Claudius
,
and
Nero
,
while
they
were
in
power
,
were
falsified
through
terror
,
and
after
their
death
were
written
under
the
irritation
of
a
recent
hatred
.
