  The Renaissance Chiromancer Antiochus Tibertus
The work by Antiochus Tibertus himself is entitled 'De Chiromantia Libri III' and begins with a defence of chiromancy by citing the ancients, such as the Stoics and Pythagoras, and by quoting Aristotle's remarks in 'De Historia Animalium' and in 'Problemata' Books 10 and 34.
Tibertus is also the first author to describe a system of allocating the signs of the zodiac to the various parts of the palm.
For Tibertus, each letter of the alphabet is ruled by either a planet or an astrological sign, so the meaning of the formation of a letter in the hand can easily be understood by referring to these astrological correspondences.

 Chapter Fortune Telling of Popular Delusions by Charles Mackay
At that time nearly all the petty sovereigns of Italy retained such men in their service; and Tibertus having studied the mathematics with great success at Paris, and delivered many predictions, some of which, for guesses, were not deficient in shrewdness, was taken into the household of Pandolfo di Malatesta, the sovereign of Rimini.
Tibertus complied, and told his patron, at that time one of the most flourishing and powerful princes of Italy, that he should suffer great want, and die at last, like a beggar, in the common hospital of Bologna: and so it happened in all three cases.
Guido di Bogni was accused by his own father-in-law, the Count di Bentivoglio, of a treasonable design to deliver up the city of Rimini to the papal forces, and was assassinated afterwards, by order of the tyrant Malatesta, as he sat at the supper-table, to which he had been invited in all apparent friendship.

 THE ROMANS WERE THE CULPRITS! - Second Hand News Article
Caligula used auctions to raise money for the treasury when he abolished certain forms of taxation.
The Emperor before Caligula, Tibertus, had already reduced taxes but Caligula went further: he resorted to auctioning surplus government property which included gladiators, furniture, jewelry and art.
Finally, Marcus Ulpius Trainus, also known as Emperor Trajan, found a higher purpose for auctions fifty years later.
