Augustus shrank back from her as if from a maniac.

But upon the sibyl fell the mighty spirit of the
prophetess. Her dim eyes began to burn, her hands
were stretched towards heaven, her voice did not
seem to be her own, but rang with such strength
that it could have been heard over the whole world.
And she spoke words which she seemed to have
react in the stars: —

“On the heights of the Capitol the redeemer of the world shall be worshipped,
Christ or Antichrist, but no frail mortal.”


When she had spoken she moved away between
the terrified men, went slowly down the mountain,
and disappeared.

Augustus, the next day, strictly forbade his people
to raise him any temple on the Capitol. In its place
he built a sanctuary to the new-born godchild and
called it “Heaven’s Altar,” Aracoeli.
