is described by Tacitus as distinguished by her birth, her beauty, and her wantonness. She had formerly been an intimate friend of Agrippina, but afterwards quarrelled with her, because Agrippina had prevented Sextius Africanus from marrying her. Accordingly when Agrippina displeased her son Nero in A. D. 55, Silana endeavoured to have her revenge by accusing Agrippina of having intended to marry Rubellius Plautus, and then to raise him to the throne in the place of Nero. But Agrippina had not yet lost all her influence over her son; and Silana, in consequence of her accusation, was driven into exile. She returned to Italy when the power of Agrippina was declining, but died at Tarentum before the murder of the latter in A. D. 59 (Tac. Ann. 11.12, 13.19, 22, 14.12). Tacitus does not mention the father of this Junia Silana. She may, however, have been the daughter of M. Silanus, consul A. D. 19 [SILANUS, JUNIUS, No. 8], and the sister of Junia Claudilla, who married the emperor Caligula.

Sila'nus, Ju'nius 8. M. Junius Silanus, M. F.. son of No. 6, consul under Tiberius, A. D. 19, with L. Norbanus Balbus These consuls gave their name to the Lex Junia Norbana, which enacted that slaves manumitted without the requisite formalities should, in certain cases, have the status of Latini : such persons were called Latini Juniani (see Dict. of Antiq. p. 693a, 2d ed.). Tacitus speaks of Silanus as pre-eminently distinguished by his high nobility and eloquence. In A. D. 20 he obtained from Tiberius the recal of his brother [No. 9] from exile. Like the other senators he endeavoured to gain the favour of the emperor by flattery. He proposed in A. D. 22 that all public and private documents should not hear in future the names of the consuls, but the names of those who possessed the tribunician power, that is, of the emperors. In A. D. 33 his daughter Claudia, or Junia Claudilla, as she is called by Suetonius (Cal. 12), was married to C. Caesar, afterwards the emperor Caligula. Sila

us as still living. Germanicus died in Syria in A. D. 20 (19); and Groskurd concludes that the sixth book was written in A. D. 19. The true conclusion is that this passage was written before A. D. 19. It has been shown that Strabo was writing after AA. D. 19. It has been shown that Strabo was writing after A. D. 19, and yet the passage at the end of the sixth book stands as he wrote it, though Germanicus was dead when he wrote the passage about Juba II. in the seventeenth book. This shows that the inference from particular passages should be the strict A. D. 19, and yet the passage at the end of the sixth book stands as he wrote it, though Germanicus was dead when he wrote the passage about Juba II. in the seventeenth book. This shows that the inference from particular passages should be the strict logical inference and no more. A passage in the fourth book (p. 206) certainly was written in A. D. 19, for Strabo there states that the Carni and Taurisci had quietly paid tribute for thirty-three years; and both these tribes were reduced to subjectA. D. 19, for Strabo there states that the Carni and Taurisci had quietly paid tribute for thirty-three years; and both these tribes were reduced to subjection by Tiberius and Drusus in B. C. 14. Groskurd concludes thus : " if Strabo wrote his fourth book in his eighty-fifth year, and if we allow him two years for the composition of the first three books, he will have commenced his work in the eighty-th

historian, and Ovid in his exile at Tomi. Germanicus restored quiet to Armenia (A. D. 18) by crowning with his own hands Artaxias as king in the city of Artaxata. His administration of the East was prudent and successful, hut he died in Syria A. D. 19, and the dislike of Tiberius and the enmity of Cn. Piso, the governor of Syria, gave credibility to the report that Germanicus was poisoned. About this time Maroboduus, king of the Suevi, being driven front his states by Roman intrigues, crossederius made several public orations, such as that on his father, delivered when he was nine years old, but this we must assume to have been written by somebody else; the funeral oration of Augustus; that on Maroboduus, delivered before the senate A. D. 19, was extant when Tacitus wrote (Ann. 2.63). Tiberius also wrote Greek poems, and a lyric poem on the Death of L. Caesar.

Va'nnius a chief of the Quadi, was made king of the Suevi by Germanicus in A. D. 19 but after holding the power for thirty years he was driven out of his kingdom in the reign of Claudius, A. D. 50, by Vibillius the king of the Hermunduri, and his own nephews Vangio and Sido, the sons of his sister. Vannius received from Claudius a settlement in Pannonia, and his kingdom was divided between Vangio and Sido. (Tac. Ann. 2.63, 12.29, 30; Vannianum regnum, Plin. Nat. 4.25.)

The Times' Paris correspondent says the departure of the Pope's Nuncio from Rome is considered the forerunner of the Pope's leaving the city. The same authority says that seldom has the spirit of hostility been so general in the Church against France, and never has it been so boldly displayed,its pastoral circulars and allocations all but imploring Divine vengeance on the invaders of the Papal States and the Emperor of the French. There is no other important news.
