“ He gained such a reputation by his methods of instruction that he was summoned to court to bring up Gaius and Lucius, the grandsons of Augustus. He removed there with his whole school, and his salary was greatly increased on the condition that he took no fresh pupils. He died at an advanced age during the reign of Tiberius (Suetonius, De Grammaticis, 17) , and a statue in his honour was erected at Praeneste, in a marble recess, with inscriptions from his Fasti. Flaccus was also a distinguished philologist and antiquarian investigator. ”
