He was created, by a new title, _Magis'ter Mo'rum_, or Master of the Morals of the People.

He received the title of Emperor and father of his country.

His person was declared sacred; and, in short, upon him alone were devolved for life all the great dignities of the state.16.It must be owned, that so much power could never have been entrusted to better keeping.

He immediately began his empire by repressing vice and encouraging virtue.

He committed the power of judicature to the senators and knights alone; and by many sumptuary laws restrained the scandalous luxuries of the rich.
