§. 5. Divers cruelties.
Sejanus his high exalted favorite, had been found, or at least suspected by him to go about to undermine him as he had done Drusus by his setting on, and he had the last year been put to death upon that certainty, or suspition; and now must all his friends, creatures, kindred and adherents, which had been exceeding many to so great a favorite, come to the same reckoning and ruine with him. And this advantage had the old Poli∣tician by his kennelling in the solitariness of the Country, that both he might be as im∣pudent as he would in putting forward his designs, for his letters could not blush, and resolute enough in following them to their accomplishing, for he was far enough from the danger of the discontented City.
He began with the confiscation of Sejanus his goods, and went on with the banishment* 1.1 of Junius Gallio one of his friends. This Gallio or Gallenus (as Dion calleth him) in a base flattery to Tiberius made the motion that the Souldiers of his guard should at the shews sit in the Knights form: A proposal more full of simplicity and fawning than of any danger or suspition: and yet is he sharply taken up for it by the Emperors letters, as for an overture of sedition made by a friend of Sejanus as thinking to corrupt the minds of the Souldiers by hope of honours: And for no other fault but this is Gallio banished to Lesbos, but recalled again ere long, because it was thought by the Emperor that he took delight in the pleasentnes•• of the Island, and then he was committed to custody in the Magistrates houses. The same letters thunderbolt Sestius Paconius, and either they or the next, do as much for Latiaris the betrayer of Sabinus, and shortly are the like come for Caecilianus a Senator, Quintus Servaeus once Pretor, and Minutius Thermus a Knight: and if they came not into the same black bill, yet did Julius Africanus and Seius Quadra∣tus come into the same danger.
