How he fared in the period between Nero and Domitian. we
do not know. But in the reign of the latter he appears still as
a man of influence and great wealth (the baths described vi.
42. were probably his), and, though banished to the coast of
Oampania (for what offence we do not know), he was soon
recalled, vii. 40 is an epitaph on him. There he is described
as pasgus utrumque deum^ i.e. Domitian angry and Domitian
kind. We learn also from that, that his wife died young, and
that he himself was nearly ninety when he died. He appears
to have had more than one son. The son mentioned here who
testified his filial affection by accompanying his father into
exile, and by his violent grief at his father's deatii (vii. 40) is
addressed as Etruscus in the latter epigram v. 8.
