Ab Urbe Condita With An English Translation, books 1-10, 21-45, with periochae 11-20

1. Such a temple had been built by Smyrna in 195 B.C. , Tacitus, Annals IV. 56. The conception of Rome as a goddess was quite un-Roman; it was invented by Greeks, adopted by Roman poets ( e.g. Vergil, Aeneid VI. 781-7, Lucan, Pharsalia I. 186-192), but not officially adopted as part of Roman religion till the reign of Hadrian (Cassius Dio LXIX. 4. 3). The divinity of cities, either personified or represented by their

Fortune,

seems like a last freakish form of the glorification of the

polls

found in Aristotle ( Politics I. i. 11:

Thus also the city-state is prior in nature to the household and to each of us individually. For the whole must necessarily be prior to the part ...

tr. Rackham, L.C.L. ).
