Book CXL.

[Y.R. 743. B.C. 9.] The war against the German nations beyond [p. 2213] the Rhine, conducted by Drusus, is recorded in this book. Drusus himself, his horse having fallen on his leg, died of the fracture thirteen days after the accident. His body was conveyed to Rome by his brother, Nero, who having been summoned by the tidings of his illness, had quickly come to him, and it was buried in the tomb of Caius Julius. His funeral eulogium was pronounced by Caesar Augustus, his step-father, and many honours were added to his last rites.
