37. King Theodoric to Faustus, Praetorian Praefect.

Largesse to citizens of Spoleto.

'As our Kingdom and revenues prosper, we wish to increase our liberality. Let your Magnificence therefore give to the citizens of Spoletium another "millena" for extraordinary gratuitous admissions to the baths[269]. We wish to pay freely for anything that tends to the health of our citizens, because the praise of our times is the celebration of the joys of the people.'

[The 'millena' probably means 1,000 solidi, or £600.]
