Igitur verso civitatis statu nihil usquam prisci et integri moris: omnes, exuta aequalitate, iussa principis aspectare, nulla in praesens formidine, dum Augustus aetate validus seque et domum et pacem sustentavit.
It was therefore a changed world, and no trace of the old, undisturbed Roman character remained. Equality was no longer a valid belief, and all eyes looked to the mandate of the rulerwith no immediate doubts, as long as Augustus, in the full strength of his youth, supported himself, his family, and peace.
