兄弟爭死
when augustus, the first emperor of rome, had taken the prince of cappadocia in war together with his wife and children, he led them to rome in triumph. he gave orders that the father and the elder of the brothers should be slain.
the ministers of execution, on coming to the place of confinement, inquired which was the elder. on this, there arose an earnest contention between the two young princes, each of them affirming himself to be the elder. when they had continued this heroic and fraternal emulation for some time, the afflicted mother with much difficulty prevailed on her elder son that he would permit his brother to die in his stead.
