At the time when the Civil War had laid hold on the city, Philippus quietly sent Octavius off to one of his father's country places.He entered the Forum, aged about fourteen, to put off the toga praetextata and assume the toga virilis, this being a token of his becoming registered as a man.Then while all the citizens looked upon him, because of his comeliness and very evidently noble descent, he sacrificed to the gods and was registered in the sacred college in place of Lucius Domitius, who had died.The people indeed had very eagerly elected him to this position.Accordingly, he performed the sacrifice, adorned with the toga virilis and at the same time the honors of a very high priestly office.
内戦が市内に広がった時、PhilippusはそっとOctaviusを自分の父の田舎に遣った。彼は14歳の時Forumに入り、(子供が着用する)トガ・プラエテクスタを脱ぎ(成人用の)トガ・ウィリリスを身に着けた。これは彼が一人前の男として認められた証だった。彼の容姿の美しさや明らかに高貴な家の出身であることがわかったことから市民の誰もが彼を見た。彼は神にいけにえを捧げ、今は亡きLucius Domitiusの代わりに枢機卿会に登録された。実際、大衆が彼をその地位につけることを非常に望んだのである。その結果、彼はいけにえを捧げ、トガ・ウィリリスと非常に高位の聖職という名誉で自らを飾った。
