Some have imagined that Tiberius was born at
5.p6
Fundi
5.p6
, but there is only this trifling foundation for the conjecture, that his mother's grandmother was of
5.p6
Fundi
5.p6
, and that the image of Good Fortune was, by a decree of the senate, erected in a public place in that town. But according to the greatest number of writers, and those too of the best authority, he was born at
5.p6
Rome
5.p6
, in the
5.p6
Palatine
5.p6
quarter, upon the sixteenth of the calends of December [16th Nov.], when Marcus AEmilius Lepidus was second time consul, with Lucius Munatius Plancus,
5.p6

5.p6
after the battle of
5.p6
Philippi
5.p6
; for so it is registered in the calendar, and the public acts. According to some, however, he was born in the preceding year, in the consulship of Hirtius and Pansa; and others say, in the year following, during the consulship of Servilius Isauricus and Antony.
