AƲgustus Caesar desiring for the better safetie of the citie to maintaine many bands of souldiers, which should alwaies bee in readinesse for the defence of the citie, desired of the citie an yearly subsidie for the main¦tenance of those souldiers: but being denied it, hee built a certaine Treasure-house, which hee called Aerarium mili∣tare, whereinto he cast his mony for himselfe, & Tiberius; and promised to doe so every yeare. Afterward when hee saw the Treasury not to be enriched enough, either by that mony which himselfe bestowed, or by the contributions of others, he appointed that the twentieth part of all inhe∣ritances and legacies (except it were to the next of the kin, or to the poore) should fall vnto this Treasurie. For the charge & custody hereof he appointed three of those soul∣diers, which alwaies attended about him for the safegard of his person, calling them Praefectos Aerarij.
