though he was aware that each of these men was very little concerned over public interests but that they were looking about for an opportunity to acquire public office and supreme power.To their mind, the man who had previously enjoyed that power was out of the way, and Octavian was not likely to hold out against so great a tumult, with one man looking out for one thing, another for another, and all of them aeizing what they could for their own gain.For with all attention to public welfare put away, and with the foremost citizens separated into many factions, and everyone trying to encompass all the power for himself, or at least as much of it as could be detached, the rule showed many strange aspects.
