Three times in my own name, and five times in that of my sons or grandsons, I have given gladiatorial exhibitions; in these exhibitions about ten thousand men have fought.109 Twice in my own name, and three times in that of my grandson, I have offered the people the spectacle of athletes gathered from all quarters.110 I have celebrated games four times in my own name, and twenty-three times in the turns of other magistrates.111 In behalf of the college of quindecemvirs, I, as master of the college, with my colleague Agrippa, celebrated the Secular Games in the consulship of Gaius Furnius and Gaius Silanus.112 When consul for the thirteenth time, I first celebrated the Martial games, which since that time the consuls have given in successive years.113 Twenty-six times in my own name, or in that of my sons and grandsons, I have given hunts of African wild beasts in the circus, the forum, the amphitheatres, and about thirty-five hundred beasts have been killed.114
