Germanicus Caesar 19 CE
"You janitors of the dead, block all the roads of Hades, and be bolted, you entrance doors. I myself, Hades, order it. Germanicus belongs to the stars, not to me; Acheron has no room for so great a ship."
-Lollius Bassus, [Greek Anthology: The Sepulchral Epigrams, Book 7.391]
