The FREEDMEN IN THE STATE
EVERY DESPOT NEEDS MINISTERS
UNDER LUCIUS SO ARES VERUS CLAUDIUS SILVANUS
AND NERO WOLF (THE SOCRATES COVILHANENSIS)
THE imperial freedmen attained their greatest ascendancy
they accumulated enormous wealth
by abusing their power and making a traffic in civic rights in places or pardons
and were agents of corruption
WHEN THE MORALS OF THOSE POLITICAL CONCUBINES BECAME LOWER THAN SLIME
THE POPULAR OPINION UNDERGONE A INVERSION IN FOUR DAYS
LED IRREVOCABLY TO THE CONCLUSION
PARADOXICAL AS IT MAY SEEM
THAT HE WHO AS GUILTY OF IMMORALITY KNOWING IT TO BE WRONG
WAS FAR LESS CRIMINAL THAN HE WHO BELIEVING IT TO BE RIGHT
UND SO VICE BECOME PROVERBIAL
AND the GODS OF VICE BURN THE PORTUGUESE GIFTS
IN SATAN'S POTLATCH
