[67] In celebration of his tricennalia¹ he entered the Palace in a triumphal procession for the entertainment of the people, and exhibited games in the Circus for the Romans. To the Roman people and to the poor of the city he gave each year a hundred and twenty thousand measures of grain, and for the restoration of the Palace and² the rebuilding of the walls of the city he ordered two hundred pounds to be given each year from the chest that contained the tax on wine.
