Numa could only prevent a few neighboring villages from plundering each other's harvests.

Antoninus diffused order and tranquillity over the greatest part of the earth.

His reign is marked by the rare advantage of furnishing very few materials for history; which is, indeed, little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
In private life, he was an amiable, as well as a good man.

The native simplicity of his virtue was a stranger to vanity or affectation.
He enjoyed with moderation the conveniences of his fortune, and the innocent pleasures of society; [44] and the benevolence of his soul displayed itself in a cheerful serenity of temper.
[Footnote 44: He was fond of the theatre, and not insensible to the charms of the fair sex.
