2  Suetonius  says,  Augustus,  though  he  knew  that  temples  were  often  raised
in  the  provinces  in  honour  of  the  proconsuls,  allowed  none  to  be  erected  to
himself,  unless  they  were  at  the  same  time  dedicated  to  the  Roman  people.
In  the  city  he  absolutely  refused  all  honours  of  that  kind.

renewal  of  the  tribunitian  power,  was  depending  in  the  senate.
Augustus,  in  his  speech  upon  that  occasion,  made  honourable
mention  of  him  ;  but,  at  the  same  time,  threw  out  oblique
reflections  on  his  conduct,  his  deportment,  and  his  manners.
With  affected  tenderness  he  seemed  willing  to  palliate  all  de-
fects ;  but  the  malice  of  the  apology  wounded  the  deeper.
XL  The  rites  of  sepulture  being  performed,  a  temple  and
religious  worship  were  decreed  to  the  memory  of  Augustus.
