XVIII. [1] After him Tiberius Sivius, the son of Silvius, reigned. Who, when he had led out his troops against his neighbors who were waging war, amid those battling, was driven into the river Albula and perished, and the reason for the name change appeared, as write Lucius Cincius in his first book, Lutatius in his third book. [2] After him, Aremulus Silvius reigned, who is recounted as having had so much arrogance not only toward people, but even toward the Gods, that he proclaimed that he was greater than Jove himself, and when the sky was filled with thunder, he commanded his soldiers to beat their shields with their spears and kept saying that they would make a louder noise. [3] He, nonetheless,was presented with an immediate punishment: for, stricken by lightening and snatched up by a storm, he was cast headlong into Lake Albana, as was written in Piso's fourth book of Annals and second of Letters. [4] However Aufidius in his Epitomes and Domitius, in his first book, [report that he was] not killed by a thunderbolt, but that after an earthquake his palace collapsed into lake Albana along with himself. [5] After him reigned Aventinus Silvius, who was attacked by his neighbours, and surrounded by enemies, was killed and buried at the roots of the mountains, which take their name from him, as Lucius Caesar wrote in his second book.
