Question 4

Cum ex Hispania Galliaque, rebus in iis provincis prospere gestis, Romam redi, Ti. Nerone P. Quintilio consulibus, aram Pacis Augustae senatus pro reditu meo consacrandam censuit ad campum Martium, in qua magistratus et sacerdotes virginesque Vestales anniversarium sacrificium facere iussit.

Answer 4

When I returned to Rome from Spain and Gual, with the things having been managed in these provinces successfully, with Nero and Quintilius as Consuls, the Senate decreed that the Altar of Augustan Peace ought to be consecrated on behalf of my return at the Campus Martius, on which the Senate ordered that the magistrates, and priests, and vestal virgins make an annual sacrifice.

Question 5

Ianum Quirinum, quem claussum esse maiores nostri voluerunt, cum per totum imperium populi Romani terra marique esset parta vic toriis pax, cum prius, quam náscerer, a condita urbe bis omnino clausum fuisse prodátur memoriae, ter me principe senatus claudendum esse censuit.

Answer 5

The gateway of Janus Quirinus, which our ancestors wanted to have been closed when throughout the entire rule of the Roman people on land and sea, the peace had been produced by means of victories, although from the city having been founded, tradition records that it has closed twice all together before I was born, the senate decreed that it ought to be closed 3 times with me as emperor.
