• Considerad, por ejemplo, y encontraréis que casi todas las transacciones en tiempos de Vespasiano diferían poco de las actuales. Allí se casaban y se daban en matrimonio, se educaba a los hijos, había enfermedad, muerte, guerra, fiestas alegres, tráfico, agricultura, aduladores, orgullo insolente, sospechas, complots, anhelo de la muerte de otros, difusores de noticias, amantes, avaros, hombres que se disputaban el consulado y el reino; sin embargo, todo esto pasó y ya no existe.
