		For he had admitted the children of Agrippa, Caius and Lucius, into the house of the Caesars; and before they had yet laid aside the dress of boyhood he had most fervently desired, with an outward show of reluctance, that they should be entitled "princes of the youth," and be consuls-elect.
		The troops under the control of Silius, with minds yet in suspense, watched the issue of mutiny elsewhere; but the soldiers of the lower army fell into a frenzy, which had its beginning in the men of the twenty-first and fifth legions, and into which the first and twentieth were also drawn.
		According to Caius Plinius, the historian of the German wars, she stood at the extremity of the bridge, and bestowed praise and thanks on the returning legions.

		However, Caius Silius now knew from the beautiful Empress’ glazed expression and her renewed handling of his softened cock that it was again time to return to erotic action.
		Caius Silius was something of a human stallion, as a number of his young slaves, including Apollinus and myself, had discovered, and his penis quickly reacted to Messalina’s gentle groping.
		Caius Silius recognized the implications of Gaius’ words immediately, along with the identity of the person who would undoubtedly be the source of such damaging hearsay and the motive for the disguised attempt at flmail.

	VIE DE SILIUS ITALICUS ,
		Silius, qui s’attacha et resta fidèle à la manière de Cicéron, pourrait donc passer pour un des derniers représentants de l’éloquence romaine.
		Silius rassembla dans ce séjour toutes sortes de choses rares et belles; il en était fort curieux, et poussait cette passion, à la fois changeante et insatiable, jusqu’à s’attirer des railleries.
		Silius manque d’enthousiasme; son style se compose de phrases empruntées, qu’il n’a pas su s’approprier, qu’il n’a pas, si l’on peut ainsi parler, su marquer de son cachet.

		Caius Silius’ forebears, like others, usually accumulated the estates, very cheaply and using very dubious means, either by grabbing public lands or upsetting the previous rural order and displacing many small landholders.
		The vast majority of Caius Silius’ rural workforce were slaves, even the craftsmen, such as flsmiths and carpenters, who made tools and conducted repairs and were located in premises geared to their work.
		Accordingly, Caius Silius’ own vilicus was encouraged to ensure that the slaves worked long and hard, his authority over the workforce being reinforced by being empowered to punish as he saw fit, including recourse to execution if needed.

		Toen de keizer in 48 de stad uit was om de havens in Ostia te inspecteren, 'trouwde' Messalina met Caius Silius.
		Of het bij wijze van scherts was, of om Caius Silius daarna op de troon te zetten, is onduidelijk.
		Claudius kreeg lucht van het 'bruiloftsfeest', en zowel Messalina als Caius Silius werden gedood, evenals de meeste andere feestgangers.

	Messalina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 48, Messalina conspired with Gaius Silius to kill Claudius while her husband was in Ostia.
		She actually went through a public marriage ceremony with Silius (he was already married to Junia Silana).
		Apparently, she was motivated by the protection the powerful and popular Silius could give her over the weakness of Claudius.

	Valeria Messalina (Messalina)
		Whatever the intentions behind it, the political ramifications of this folly were sufficiently grave to cause the summary execution of Messalina, Silius, and assorted hangers-on (orchestrated, tellingly, by the freedman Narcissus).
		Silius was consul-designate, in his 30s and married to Junia Silanus, daughter of Marcus Silanus, and a sister-in-law to the emperor Gaius.
		Out of apparent concern for the empress, the childless Silius was unwilling to wait for Claudius to die and declared he was ready to marry Messalina and adopt Britannicus.

		She married Claudius around 38 and bore him two children, Britannicus (41–55), who might actually have been fathered by Caligula, and Octavia (42–62), who married her own stepbrother the emperor Nero.
		In 48 Messalina conspired to kill Claudius with Caius Silius while her husband was in Ostia.
		She actually went through a public marriage ceremony with Silius (he was also already married, to Junia Silana); her motivation is believed to have been the protection the powerful and popular Silius could give her over the weakness of Claudius, and her plotting was sufficiently promising that many senior officials were swayed to her side.

	The Annals by P. Cornelius Tacitus
		She had grown so frantically enamoured of Caius Silius, the handsomest of the young nobility of Rome, that she drove from his bed Junia Silana, a high-born lady, and had her lover wholly to herself.
		Silius was not unconscious of his wickedness and his peril; but a refusal would have insured destruction, and he had some hope of escaping exposure; the prize too was great, so he consoled himself by awaiting the future and enjoying the present.
		At first Callistus, of whom I have already spoken in connection with the assassination of Caius Caesar, Narcissus, who had contrived the death of Appius, and Pallas, who was then in the height of favour, debated whether they might not by secret threats turn Messalina from her passion for Silius, while they concealed all else.

		The scene that would now unfold in Caius Silius’ garden would be considered too dreadful for my young mistresses’ sensibilities to endure, and so they would have been kept undisturbed and asleep in their beds.
		I was naturally grateful that the awful demise planned for me in Caius Silius’ garden had not materialised, although the pain from the stinging and untreated couple of blows of the whip, which had landed on my body, was a constant reminder of what might have happened.
		Instead, Burrus harshly grabbed Messalina’s hair, still combed in a sextet of ringlets to celebrate the ironically unconsummated marriage to Caius Silius, and pulled powerfully upwards to expose the Empress’ slim neck, which was quickly separated from her torso by one proficient swipe of the Procurator’s sword.

		Silius, ennemi personnel de Suillius, insiste avec force, rappelant l'exemple des anciens orateurs, qui regardaient l'estime de la postérité comme le plus digne salaire de l'éloquence.
		Silius ne se déguisait ni le crime ni le danger; mais, avec la certitude de périr s'il refusait, une vague espérance de tromper Claude, et de grandes récompenses, il attendait l'avenir, jouissait du présent, et se consolait ainsi.
		Titius Proculus, auquel Silius avait confié la garde de Messaline, Vettius Valens, qui avouait tout et offrait des révélations, deux complices, Pompeius Urbicus et Saufeius Trogus, furent traînés au supplice par l'ordre de Claude.

		Caius Caesar's reign was three years ten months and eight days in duration.
		A resolution was being framed to bring the guilty under the law of extortion, when Suilius and Cossutianus and the rest, who saw themselves threatened with punishment rather than trial, for their guilt was manifest, gathered round the emperor, and prayed forgiveness for the past.
		[11.26] Messalina, now grown weary of the very facility of her adulteries, was rushing into strange excesses, when even Silius, either through some fatal infatuation or because he imagined that, amid the dangers which hung over him, danger itself was the best safety, urged the breaking off of all concealment.

		First Caius Silius; He is the most of mark, and most of danger: In power and reputation equal strong, Having commanded an imperial army Seven years together, vanquish'd Sacrovir In Germany, and thence obtain'd to wear The ornaments triumphal.
		Silius, mistake us not, we dare not use The credit of the consul to thy wrong; But only to preserve his place and power, So far as it concerns the dignity And honour of the state.
		Silius, Silius, These are the common customs of thy blood, When it is high with wine, as now with rage: This well agrees with that intemperate vaunt, Thou lately mad'st at Agrippina's table, That, when all other of the troops were prone To fall into rebellion, only thine Remain'd in their obedience.

		When she fell in love with Caius Silius, the consul-designate known as the handsomest man in Rome she had gone too far.
		Such was her passion for him, that determined to marry him, she coerced him to divorce his wife and lived openly with him furnishing his home with treasures from the Imperial Palace.
		Tacitus was quoted saying, "She craved the name of wife because it was outrageous and thus the greatest satisfaction to a sensation-seeker." Still to perform such an outlandish wedding in the public eye she must have had supporters and her choice of husband probably had more to do with survival than emotion.

		When Caius Asinius and Caius Antistius were Consuls, Tiberius was in his ninth year, the state composed, and his family flourishing (for the death of Germanicus he reckoned amongst the incidents of his prosperity) when suddenly fortune began to grow boisterous, and he himself to tyrannize, or to furnish others with the weapons of tyranny.
		This Caius was in his childhood carried by his father Sempronius into the island Cercina, as a companion in his exile, he grew up there amongst fugitives, and men destitute of liberal education, and afterwards sustained himself by sordid traffic between Africa and Sicily.
		Silius made no defence, or only enough to shew by whose fury he was oppressed.

		People extolled too the number of his consulships, in which he had equalled Valerius Corvus and Caius Marius combined, the continuance for thirty-seven years of the tribunitian power, the title of Imperator twenty-one times earned, and his other honours which had been either frequently repeated or were wholly new.
		About the same time, from the same causes, the legions of Germany rose in mutiny, with a fury proportioned to their greater numbers, in the confident hope that Germanicus Caesar would not be able to endure another's supremacy and would offer himself to the legions, whose strength would carry everything before it.
		There were two armies on the bank of the Rhine; that named the upper army had Caius Silius for general; the lower was under the charge of Aulus Carina.
