The Romans Vowed Not to Abuse Them, but to Give Them the Value of Their Own Land

Tiberius observed that octavius himself was amenable to the law as a larger holder of the public land. And then he begged him to remit his opposition, promising to pay him the value of his land,. basically out of his own pocket. He suts his private seal upon the temple of saturn so the magistrates in charge of the finances can't take any money out. I mean, it is very like a federal shut down, is t tet just it just becomes very petty.
