Legitimacy Roman A. Meyer, Elizabeth Legitimacy and Law in the roman world |
| description |
With typically Roman prudence the emperor [Trajan], by a preliminary test of
the trustworthiness of the oracle [of Apollo], took steps to thwart the possibility
of hidden human trickery, and began by sending sealed tablets [codicillos] with
a request for a written reply. To the surprise of the priests, who were, of course,
unaware of the nature of the emperor’s tablets, the god bade a sheet of papyrus
[chartam] be brought and ordered it to be sealed, without any writing on it, and
dispatched.When Trajan received the document he was filled with astonishment,
since the tablets [tabellis] he had sent to the god also had had no writing on them;
and he then wrote and sealed other tablets [codicillis], to ask whether he would
return to Rome after the war was over. The god thereupon bade a centurion’s vine
branch be brought from among the dedicated offerings in the temple, broken in
pieces, and the pieces wrapped and sent to the emperor. (Macrobius, Saturnalia
