Igiturnon crimine,non accusatore existente, quia speciem iudicis induere non poterat, ad vim dominationis conversus Gerellanum tribunum cum cohorte militum inmittit iubetque praevenire conatus consulis, occupare velut arcem eius, opprimere delectam iuventutem, quia Vestinus inminentis foro aedes decoraque servitia et pari aetate habebat.
Accordingly, with neither a charge nor an accuser forthcoming, Nero, precluded from assuming the character of judge, turned to plain despotic force, and sent out the tribune Gerellanus with a cohort of soldiers, under orders to forestall the attempts of the consul, seize what might be termed his citadel, and suppress his chosen corps of youths: Vestinus maintained a house overlooking the forum, and a retinue of handsome slaves of uniform age.
