jan 1, 120 - Suetonius "De vita Caesarum"

Description:

[ca. 30 BCE] "His other wars he carried on through his generals, although he was either present at some of those in Pannonia and Germany, or was not far from the front, since he went from the city as far as Ravenna, Mediolanum, or Aquileia (Suetonius, Lives of the 12 Caesars, Aug.20)

[ca. 9 BCE] "With Julia he lived in harmony at first, and returned her love; but he soon grew cold, and went so far as to cease to live with her at all, after the severing of the tie formed by a child which was born to them, but died at Aquileia in infancy" (Suetonius, Lives of the 12 Caesars, Tib.7)

[ca. 14 CE] "When word came to them after they had begun their march that he had been defeated and had taken his own life, they none the less kept on as far as Aquileia, because they did not believe the report. There, taking advantage of the lawless state of the times, they indulged in every kind of pillage; then, fearing that if they went back, they would have to give an account and suffer punishment, they took it into their heads to select and appoint an emperor, saying that they were just as good as the Army of Hispania which had appointed Galba, or the Praetorian Guard which had elected Otho, or the Army of Germania which had chosen Vitellius" (Suetonius, Lives of the 12 Caesars, Vesp.6)
